NIL documentation bug  Topic is solved

Postby vctrvlad » Tue Sep 19, 2017 7:07 pm

I have found many places in the documentation in the topic description, where information is redundant
eg.
• #define CH_CFG_ST_TIMEDELTA 0
Time delta constant for the tick-less mode.
• #define CH_CFG_ST_TIMEDELTA 0
Time delta constant for the tick-less mode.

And a lot other redundat info in the documentation?
http://chibios.org/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fet ... nil_rm.pdf
page 12 of the documentation, page 22 of the PDF document.

And also info like:
• #define CH_CFG_USE_MAILBOXES TRUE
Mailboxes APIs.
• #define CH_CFG_USE_MAILBOXES FALSE
Mailboxes APIs
on the same page, one after another...this is confusing, what is the purpose of this information anyway?

Regards,
Victor

P.S.
"5.4.2.22 #define CH_CFG_ST_TIMEDELTA 0
Time delta constant for the tick-less mode.
Note
If this value is zero then the system uses the classic periodic tick. This value represents the minimum number
of ticks that is safe to specify in a timeout directive. The value one is not valid, timeouts are rounded up to this
value.

Please, don't take any offence, I am just trying to figure out how this OS is working, and what is the correct way to use it.
