Q:
Can I change the blocking queue type from FIFO to priority or vice versa for mes-
sagequeues, semaphores or other RZK objects?
A:
No. You cannot change the blocking queue type of a created object.
Q:
What is the difference between the macros RZK_SYSTICKS_

INSECH and RZK_DEVTICKS_PERSYSTICKH ? The granularity of the system is depen-
dent on which of these macros?
A:
The RZK_SYSTICKS_INSECH represents system ticks per second, whereas
RZK_DEVTICKS_PERSYSTICKH represents the number of device ticks that are present in
one system tick. The granularity of the system depends upon the
RZK_SYSTICKS_INSECH value.
Q:
What are Debug Priority Inheritance, Debug Non Priority Inheritance, Non Debug
Priority Inheritance and Non DebugNon Priority Inheritance? Why are they required?
A:
These four sets of RZK libraries (four for each target platform) are categorized
according to the implementation of priority inheritance protocol. Debug Priority Inheri-
tance indicates that debugging and Priority Inheritance are enabled. The N in front of
either Debug or Priority Inheritance indicates that they are disabled.
For example, The real-time application may therefore be used first with the RZK
DebugPI configuration to remove any errors during testing of the system. If the applica-
tion is error-free, it is preferable to use the RZK NDebugNPI or RZK NDebugPI configu-
ration, based on the application requirements.
Q:
I changed the RZK configuration from Debug Priority Inheritance to Non Debug Non
Priority Inheritance by including the Non Debug Non Priority Inheritance libraries in the
project and removing the Debug Priority Inheritance libraries from the project. Do I need
to change anything else?
A:
No.
Q:
What is the include order for RZK-related header files?
A:
The include order for RZK-related header files is:
#include "ZTypes.h"

#include "ZSysgen.h"

"other required RZK header files"
ZSysgen.h and ZTypes.h can be in any order, but all other RZK header files must be
included after these two header files because all of the RZK header files use the macros
and definitions of the
ZSysgen.h and ZTypes.h files.
