  • [ABANDONED] Task state values

    The OS_TASK struct has a variable "stat" with the type OS_STAT.
    I assume it indicates the state of the current task. As per documentation, - the state can be ready, waiting, reason for suspension, etc.
    Can you please tell me what values of "stat" correspond to which task states.
    I did not find it anyhwere in the code or documentation.

  • Hello ndongre,

    May I ask for the reason why you want to check a tasks state?

    The values of the task states are not described in the manual as we prohibit the use of embOS internal variables.

    Please note that embOS internal variables and structures as well as their meaning can change among different embOS versions and in new releases.

    In embOS V506 following defines are used for OS_STAT:
