Memory manager for IAR, KEIL and others ...

Posted by Jaroslav Fojtik on February 10, 2013
This memory manager can reuse standard C-lib functions. Sometimes the malloc, realloc and free could be optimized more precise in C lib than those proposed in RTOS..

FreeRTOS\Source\portable\MemMang\HeapClib.c:
#include 

#include "FreeRTOS.h"
#include "task.h"


void vPortFree( void *pv )
{
if(pv)
{
vTaskSuspendAll();
free(pv);
xTaskResumeAll();
}
}

void *pvPortMalloc(size_t xWantedSize)
{
void *Mem;
vTaskSuspendAll();
Mem = malloc(xWantedSize);
xTaskResumeAll();
return (Mem);
}

What is the difference between this and heap_3.c?

Heap_4.c is currently the preferred scheme if RAM is going to be freed as well as allocated.

Regards.

Sorry, I overlook that. Anyway, this memory scheme performs a little better in Keil. You can use safelly malloc and free inside your code and everything is synchronized. Keil can use in its C-lib externally provided mutex.

void vPortFree( void *pv )
{
free(pv);
}

void *pvPortMalloc(size_t xWantedSize)
{
return malloc(xWantedSize);
}


/*--------------------------- _mutex_initialize -----------------------------*/
int _mutex_initialize (_SYNC_t *mutex)
{
/* Allocate and initialize a system mutex. */
vSemaphoreCreateBinary(*mutex);/*Create semaphore*/
return (1);
}


/*--------------------------- _mutex_acquire --------------------------------*/

__attribute__((used)) void _mutex_acquire(_SYNC_t *mutex)
{
/* Acquire a system mutex, lock stdlib resources. */
if(RTOS_STATE == RTOS_RUNNING)
{ /* RTX running, acquire a mutex. */
xSemaphoreTake(*mutex, 500);
}
}


/*--------------------------- _mutex_release --------------------------------*/

__attribute__((used)) void _mutex_release (_SYNC_t *mutex)
{
/* Release a system mutex, unlock stdlib resources. */
if(RTOS_STATE == RTOS_RUNNING)
{ /* RTX runnning, release a mutex. */
xSemaphoreGive(*mutex);
}
}
