1. Create a routine in PreTaskHook() that counts the number of times a key is pressed since the system has been reset. Hint: One task is activated every time a key is pressed.
2. Create a task that writes a message to the display whenever the * (asterisk) key is pressed.Modify the ProcessKeyPress task to start your task instead of chaining the OutputDisplay task. Please do
3. Modify the OutputDisplay task to identify which task sent the message. Hint: The highest priority task that is in the READY state would activate OutputDisplay.
4. If you enjoy adding hardware to your system, add an LED that is on whenever a key is pressed. Create two tasks, one that turns the LED on and the other that turns the LED off, and activate these
1. In the IOSampleShuffleSwitch task, replace the timeout counter with an alarm that starts with the first pulse and restarts on every pulse. When this alarm expires, activate the ShufflingComplete
2. In the previous chapter, you created a task that output a message to the display when the *key was pressed. Modify this task to output the message when the 0 (zero) key is pressed, and flash the
3. Create a timer and a task that stores the hours, minutes, and seconds that the system has been running since the last reset. Display this time whenever the 1 key is pressed.
1. Set a breakpoint at the entrance to each of the hook routines, including StartupHook().Run the program and observe the sequence of events as the program starts and executes, then terminates, the
3. Set breakpoints at the hook routines and the background task. Run the program and verify that the hook routines execute properly.
2. In StartupHook(), if the APPMODE is END_OF_LINE, call InitSystem() with a new value of INIT_EOL.
1. Add an APPMODE called END_OF_LINE to the application and check for a change in Change-Mode(). Do not do anything at this time if the user requests a change to the new mode.
5. Modify the background task so that it immediately calls ChangeMode() with the requested mode of SINGLE_PLAYER. Then use the debugger to observe what happens as the application enters and exits the
4. Add some registers to the initialization lists to put the system into a different state than the default state on reset. For example, switch some digital ports into output mode and set them to a
3. Expand the definition of the InitType enumeration to include possibilities based on the type of reset and the integrity of the memory after the reset. Pass this information to Init-System().
2. Modify the RAM initialization routine to check whether memory has been compromised before initialization. If memory has not been compromised, skip memory initialization and C initialization. Pass
1. Determine the source of the reset that put you into the startup.s module. Pass this value to main() as the argument, then within main(), save this value to a global variable.
4. Calculate the amount of time spent in the background task using the time from the clock in the previous exercise and the PreTaskHook() and PostTaskHook() hook routines.
5. Add a switch to a digital input that sends a low pulse every time the switch is pressed using a pull-up resistor to +5V and the switch connected to ground. Create a new counter object and a device
1. Create an indirect NM module that uses the capabilities of the COM and OS components to monitor periodic messages from multiple nodes and to construct a network configuration.This module can use
2. After five minutes has expired, put the bus to sleep.
1. When a node is added to the network, detect the configuration change and display a prompt that allows the player to immediately change to HEAD_TO_HEAD mode.
1. A set of messages was created in Chapter 12 that transmitted the dealer and player hands periodically. Because the maximum CAN message has eight bytes, and transmitting all possible cards in one
2. Create a direct message that is sent whenever the ‘0’ (zero) key is pressed and include a small message of seven or fewer characters. When received by the other node, the message flashes for
1. Create four new periodic or mixed-mode messages that contain five cards each for the dealer and player. Each node will transmit two messages that include the cards as each player should see them.
2. Create a message that contains a structure that has the current game time from the task that was created in Chapter 5, Exercise 3. Whenever the deck is shuffled, send a message with the current
1. Create a message that contains a single character. Whenever a key is pressed on the keypad that is not required for the game, send a message with this character. Create a task in the debug.c
3. Review the source code and determine if there are other critical sections that need to be added.
2. Set a breakpoint in OutputNewDisplay() after the interrupts are disabled. Also set a breakpoint at the entrance to the keypad ISR. Press a key on the keypad and then step through the rest of the
1. In an exercise in Chapter 5, a switch was added and the number of times that it was depressed was counted. Make sure that the switch is connected to an input that can generate an interrupt when
2. Define the display as a resource and lock the resource everywhere the displayBuffer global variable is updated. This includes the OutputDisplay task. In tasks where the display-Buffer variable is
1. Create a new task called DealerCheat that resides in carddeck.c and has a priority higher than DealCards. In this task, pull a card from the deck into a static variable that the dealer can use
2. Modify the previous task to reset the time when a key is pressed. Use the event mechanism to signal this event from the task ProcessKeyPress.
1. Modify the task you created in the last chapter that keeps track of the time the program has been running. Make this an extended task with an event that is set when the alarm expires.
2. Implement a Master–Slave sleep module that provides the GoToMode() service and monitors the network sleep message. For simplicity, create a new message that is used exclusively to trigger bus
