thx for your explanation Stan
but I fell it hard to rewrite my own shm_opoen etc...
do you know where I could find that?
It's a pity it's is not provided
Thx

Yes, you can use either these or the tx_byte_allocate set of functions if
you don't
want to work in fixed size blocks and your application won't run into
fragmentation
issues.
They work more on the level or malloc than file/stream I/O so the
implememtation
of the mmap interface should be simple.
You can probably write yourself a version of shm_open that uses the
threadx calls so you don't have to change your code, but since threadx
doesn't really
handle file I/O you will need to do your own stream read/write/seek/etc.

Where can I found those standards memory allocation functions?
do you speak about:
tx_block_pool_create
tx_block_allocate
Does it exist the equivalent of functions as shm_open or mmap?
THx for help Stan

Threadx doesn't enforce separate memory spaces for each thread, so memory
is global by default. I have one application that does use the mmu to
enforce
separate memory spaces with ThreadX but that has a much slower context
switch
and it is not the standard way of operating.
You can use the standard Threadx memory allocation functions to get memory
that
can be used as shared.

hello,
Im working on threadx rtos (actually with NET+OS 6.3 from Netsilicon),
I have already the source code of my project but I need to port it to
threadx. This code uses shared memory with such libraries and functions
as shm.h or shm_open() which are not provided by threadx.
How can I do the same thing? Everything would be ok if it wouldn't miss
memory.h and sys/shm.h.... :(
help...
