[ECOS] scheduler

[ECOS] scheduler

[mekala natarajan]

Hi,
   I have a doubt regarding scheduler.

i have two process one with higher priority and the
other with lower priority.

This is the example program which i used.


int main()
{
    xCreateProcess_i(xPclcpsSender_v,5,ZERO,0);
    xCreateProcess_i(xPclcpr_v,7,ZERO,0);

        mProcessId_i=xGetProcessId_i();
	xKillProcess_i(mProcessId_i);
}

void xPclcpr_v(void)
{
	while(1)
	{
	printf("\n Receiver process is created\n");
	xDelay_v(5);
	}
}

void xPclcpsSender_v(void)
{
	while(1)
	{
	printf("\n Sender process is created\n");
	xDelay_v(3);
	}
}

Output:
-------
     Sender process is created 
     Sender process is created
     receiver process is created
     Sender process is created
     Sender process is created
     receiver process is created
               ----
Why is this output. It is supposed to print Sender
process only once.

How the scheduler behaves here?

Can someone explain me?

Regards,
mekala

Why do you think this should be so?

I assume that xDelay_v() calls 'thread_sleep()' or some such similar
"blocking" function.

When the "receiver" process is sleeping (xDelay_v()), the "sender"
process will run, thus the printout.
