ChibiOS Free Embedded RTOS

Thanks steve! Looks really interesting, I would keep the Mailbox logic, since I don't want to interrupt any fast threads with a blocking write. I'm thinking about using sprintf and then pushing that to the mailbox q. Only thing I need to figure out what to do when the thread isn't running yet (i.e. ...

I have a mITX Board with a built-in Intel CPU, works really well and runs a full ubuntu instance

The Library was written by myself :) I just want to keep the generic printf instead of the chprintf in there so I can run it on a local machine or a test environment without the chibi code. That keeps the functionality of that part of the code agnostic of the system its being run on. I was hoping to...

Sure! To be fair you already helped me shoulder a lot of my own stupidity so far though

At the risk of going slightly off-topic: I'm trying to implement printf in chibiOS since I have some external libraries that use printf for error messages. I included the syscalls.c and added the STDOUT_SD and it seems to work when being called from the main startup code. However as soon as I run pr...

Ah yes, thats actually perfectly reasonable. Thanks as always! So I need an extra message buffer that only gets cleared when the message is received. When sending the strings as "directly" encoded the compiler probably treats that as a const string and that doesn't change. So If I want to ...

I want to send string messages over the mailbox q to serve a thread that then writes out the data over the serial bus. From the ChibiOS book I took an example for a console and created the following threads: char start_string[] = "start"; char stop_string[] = "stop"; static mailb...

Hi Giovanni,

shit happens! Some hosters do shady stuff, sucks when it happens.

Let me know if I can help in any way! Happy to support you guys with some of my skills once in a while

Understood. Why not expose the the "very simple" scenario by just exposing the slave flag to the config? As I understand the rest of the code would already allow for simple receive/sends (see example from plyatov). Can you help me understand how the HAL API would behave in this slave scena...

Would you recommend using plyatovs solution from here: http://www.chibios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3213&start=20#p32291 (earlier in this thread) for a production system? Or is it more wise to create a complete Slave SPI solution without using chibiOS HAL? Furthermore a driver that has ...
