<h1 id="communication-over-channels"><a class="header" href="#communication-over-channels">Communication over channels.</a></h1>
<p>Channels can be used to communicate data between running tasks. The channel is essentially a wait queue, allowing tasks with multiple producers and a single receiver. A channel is constructed in the <code>init</code> task and backed by statically allocated memory. Send and receive endpoints are distributed to <em>software</em> tasks:</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust noplayground">...
const CAPACITY: usize = 5;
#[init]
fn init(_: init::Context) -&gt; (Shared, Local) {
let (s, r) = make_channel!(u32, CAPACITY);
receiver::spawn(r).unwrap();
sender1::spawn(s.clone()).unwrap();
sender2::spawn(s.clone()).unwrap();
...</code></pre>
<p>In this case the channel holds data of <code>u32</code> type with a capacity of 5 elements.</p>
<p>Channels can also be used from <em>hardware</em> tasks, but only in a non-<code>async</code> manner using the <a href="#try-api">Try API</a>.</p>
<h2 id="sending-data"><a class="header" href="#sending-data">Sending data</a></h2>
<p>The <code>send</code> method post a message on the channel as shown below:</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust noplayground">#[task]
async fn sender1(_c: sender1::Context, mut sender: Sender&lt;'static, u32, CAPACITY&gt;) {
hprintln!("Sender 1 sending: 1");
sender.send(1).await.unwrap();
}</code></pre>
<h2 id="receiving-data"><a class="header" href="#receiving-data">Receiving data</a></h2>
<p>The receiver can <code>await</code> incoming messages:</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust noplayground">#[task]
async fn receiver(_c: receiver::Context, mut receiver: Receiver&lt;'static, u32, CAPACITY&gt;) {
while let Ok(val) = receiver.recv().await {
hprintln!("Receiver got: {}", val);
...
}
}</code></pre>
<p>Channels are implemented using a small (global) <em>Critical Section</em> (CS) for protection against race-conditions. The user must provide an CS implementation. Compiling the examples given the <code>--features test-critical-section</code> gives one possible implementation.</p>
<p>For a complete example:</p>

<p>Also sender endpoint can be awaited. In case the channel capacity has not yet been reached, <code>await</code>-ing the sender can progress immediately, while in the case the capacity is reached, the sender is blocked until there is free space in the queue. In this way data is never lost.</p>
<p>In the following example the <code>CAPACITY</code> has been reduced to 1, forcing sender tasks to wait until the data in the channel has been received.</p>

<p>Looking at the output, we find that <code>Sender 2</code> will wait until the data sent by <code>Sender 1</code> as been received.</p>

<p>Similarly, <code>await</code>-ing on a send channel results in an error in case the receiver has been dropped. This allows to gracefully implement application level error handling.</p>
<p>The resulting error returns the data back to the sender, allowing the sender to take appropriate action (e.g., storing the data to later retry sending it).</p>
