Introduction
This section presents some typical real-time tasks and how they can be addressed using OCEOS.
Getting started
Section 9.5 provides guidance on how to structure an OCEOS application. The file asw.c provided with OCEOS is a simple example.
The directives to initialise and start OCEOS are:
- application_init – Initialise fixed data and start system timer(s)
- oceos_task_create - Create task setting priority, no of jobs, ..etc.
- oceos_init_finish – Initilise dynamic data area
- oceos_start – Start the scheduler and pass control to first task
After steps 1 to 4 above tasks implement application functionality. If mutexes, semaphores, or dataqs are required they are also created at step 2.
Note: it is mandatory to create the number of mutexes, semaphores, and dataqs declared otherwise oceos_init_finish() will return an error.

Tutorial 1 – Starting tasks
This exercise demonstrates starting tasks with different priorities.
- Two tasks, one higher priority (i.e. lower priority value), one lower priority (i.e. higher priority value. Each task allowed to have up to two concurrent jobs.
- Each task outputs a message when it starts, another message when it exits.
- Start OCEOS with the low priority task.
- This starts the high priority task and then exits.
- The high priority task starts the low priority tasks and exits.
For code example see below.

Tutorial 2 – Using a mutex
This exercise will familiarise the developer with the use a mutexes.
- Two tasks as before.
- One mutex. Note the priority ceiling of the mutex..
- Both tasks output message when they get the mutex and when they return it
- Start OCEOS with the low priority task
- This grabs mutex, then starts high priority task
- Low priority task returns mutex then exits
- High priority task returns mutex, start low priority task and exits

Tutorial 3 – Using Semaphores
Semaphores can be used to synchronise task actions as in this exercise.
- Three tasks this time, one high priority and the other two with the same lower priority
- Two counting semaphores, one initially 0, one initially 4, called ‘items’ and ‘spaces’
- First task starts second and third tasks
- Second task loops
- wait_restart spaces
- signal items
- Output ‘item done’ message
- Third task loops
- wait_restart items
- Output ‘got item’ message
- signal spaces

Tutorial 4 – Timer interrupt starts task
This exercise introduces the use of timer interrupts.
- Create one task
- Set a timer to interrupt every 2 seconds
- Set timer handler to start task
- Task outputs message, then exits
