Lecture 12 Freescale MQX RTOS Task Synchronization

Assignment 1: Semaphore
Description
-

Write a program uses two tasks. All the task need to access the UART port. Task 1 need to
access the UART port to read it and echo the user input. Task 2 need to access the UART
port to write to it (example the hello word). Task 1 will control the UART port first and only
when the user press the a key; the task 1 release the semaphore then task 2 can access the
UART port, the task 2 print for 10 times and give the access to task 1.

Estimated time: 1.5 hours

Assignment 2: Massage queue

Description
-

Write a program using Massage queue. The user will types some messages to the UART
terminal, when the user type send and then press enter, the content of the messages is
displayed on the screen of PC.

Estimated time: 3 hours

Final Assignment Bug Killer Game.

Assignment 1: Bug Killer Game.
Description
-

The bugs are the LEDs on the touch buttons. When the bug appears (led turn on),
you must touch the corresponding touch button to kill the bug (the bug killed causes
the led turns off), the bugs will appear for a specified time before the bug escape (the
led turn off).
The bugs are randomized displayed on the LED, some time there are more than one
bugs display on the LED.

- There are 100 bugs on a game round, the bugs was killed after the game round
finish is the score.
The high score is stored in a variable
The UART port is used to print when a bugs is killed (example the sound Oh), after
a game round finishes, the score will be printed and the high score is printed too.
The time interval between the bugs and the time the bug appear depends on the
programmer.
