Every task can be spawned, now or later, be sent messages (message passing) and be given priorities for preemptive multitasking. + +There are two kinds of tasks, software tasks and hardware tasks, and the difference is that hardware tasks are bound to a specific interrupt vector in the MCU while software tasks are not. This means that if a hardware task is bound to the UART's RX interrupt the task will run every time a character is received. + +In the coming pages we will explore both tasks and the different options available. |
