Arguments
p_mutex
is a pointer to a mutex control block that must be allocated in the application. The user will need to declare a “global” variable as follows, and pass a pointer to this variable to OSMutexCreate()
:
OS_MUTEX MyMutex MyMutex;
p_name
is a pointer to an ASCII string used to assign a name to the mutual exclusion semaphore. The name may be displayed by debuggers or µC/Probe.
...
If OS_CFG_CALLED_FROM_ISR_CHK_EN
set to 1
in DEF_ENABLED
in os_cfg.h
: if attempting to create a mutex from an ISR.
OS_ERR_ILLEGAL_CREATE_RUN_TIME
If OS_SAFETY_CRITICAL_IEC61508
is defined: you called this after calling OSStart()
and thus you are no longer allowed to create additional kernel objects.
OS_ERR_OBJ_PTR_NULL
If OS_CFG_ARG_CHK_EN
is set to 1
in DEF_ENABLED
in os_cfg.h
: if p_mutex
is a NULL
pointer.
Returned Value
None
Required Configuration
OS_
...
CFG_
...
If OS_SAFETY_CRITICAL_IEC61508
is defined: you called this after calling OSSafetyCriticalStart()
and thus you are no longer allowed to create additional kernel objects.
Returned Value
NoneMUTEX_EN
must be enabled in os_cfg.h
. Refer to µC-OS-III Configuration Manual.
Callers
Application.
Notes/Warnings
- Mutexes must be created before they are used.
