<h1 id="software-tasks--spawn"><a class="header" href="#software-tasks--spawn">Software tasks &amp; spawn</a></h1>
<p>The RTIC concept of a software task shares a lot with that of <a href="./hardware_tasks.html">hardware tasks</a>
with the core difference that a software task is not explicitly bound to a specific
interrupt vector, but rather bound to a “dispatcher” interrupt vector running
at the intended priority of the software task (see below).</p>
<p>Thus, software tasks are tasks which are not <em>directly</em> bound to an interrupt vector.</p>
<p>The <code>#[task]</code> attributes used on a function determine if it is
software tasks, specifically the absence of a <code>binds = InterruptName</code>
argument to the attribute definition.</p>
<p>The static method <code>task_name::spawn()</code> spawns (schedules) a software
task by registering it with a specific dispatcher. If there are no
higher priority tasks available to the scheduler (which serves a set
of dispatchers), the task will start executing directly.</p>
<p>All software tasks at the same priority level share an interrupt handler bound to their dispatcher.
What differentiates software and hardware tasks is the usage of either a dispatcher or a bound interrupt vector.</p>
<p>The interrupt vectors used as dispatchers cannot be used by hardware tasks.</p>
<p>Availability of a set of “free” (not in use by hardware tasks) and usable interrupt vectors allows the framework
to dispatch software tasks via dedicated interrupt handlers.</p>
<p>This set of dispatchers, <code>dispatchers = [FreeInterrupt1, FreeInterrupt2, ...]</code> is an
argument to the <code>#[app]</code> attribute.</p>
<p>Each interrupt vector acting as dispatcher gets assigned to a unique priority level meaning that
the list of dispatchers needs to cover all priority levels used by software tasks.</p>
<p>Example: The <code>dispatchers =</code> argument needs to have at least 3 entries for an application using
three different priorities for software tasks.</p>
<p>The framework will give a compilation error if there are not enough dispatchers provided.</p>
