Initialisation directives

oceos_start()

Header File
initialisation.h

Description
Starts OCEOS scheduling.
Create dynamic OCEOS structures and start scheduling.
This function should only be called once and only after oceos_init() and oceos_init_finish() have been called successfully.
Normally this function does not return.
If a problem is detected the function terminates and returns an appropriate DIRECTIVE_STATUS code, with interrupts disabled.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
fixed_array_ptr	Pointer to fixed data array
start_task	Task ID
data_ptr	Pointer to data to be passed to the task

Returns
This function returns S32_t with one of the status codes defined above.

Example Usage

/* Sample Task names - all here start with t_ to help avoid name confusion */
enum TASK_NAME{
    t_tom,                      // will have task ID 0
    t_dick,                     // will have task ID 1
};
extern U32_t fixed_data[];
...
S32_t status;

status = oceos_start(fixed_data, t_tom, NULL);
