Has anybody done any framework for FreeRTOS with SPI support before?
I'd like to process interrupts from the slave devices as soon as possible.
It seems implementing semaphores and an SPI task doing post processing of slave
interrupts is the only solution I can foresee. (The ISR will just wake up the
SPI task).
Any thoughts? Thanks.
FreeRTOS + SPI bus + SPI slave devices

Well, is there any protocol associated with your SPI devices or is it just 'character' data? I ask because it's more efficient to build up protocol units in the interrupt handler and only signal the handler task when a complete unit has been received. Posting a unit for every byte that comes in will work, sure, but it would help if you could block it up a bit
