-# Software tasks
-
-In addition to hardware tasks, which are invoked by the hardware in response to
-hardware events, RTIC also supports *software* tasks which can be spawned by the
-application from any execution context.
-
-Software tasks can also be assigned priorities and, under the hood, are
-dispatched from interrupt handlers. RTIC requires that free interrupts are
-declared in the `dispatchers` app argument when using software tasks; some of these free
-interrupts will be used to dispatch the software tasks. An advantage of software
-tasks over hardware tasks is that many tasks can be mapped to a single interrupt
-handler.
-
-Software tasks are also declared using the `task` attribute but the `binds`
-argument must be omitted.
-
-The example below showcases three software tasks that run at 2 different
-priorities. The three software tasks are mapped to 2 interrupts handlers.
-
-``` rust
-{{#include ../../../../examples/task.rs}}
-```
-
-``` console
-$ cargo run --example task
-{{#include ../../../../ci/expected/task.run}}
-```
-
-## Message passing
-
-The other advantage of software tasks is that messages can be passed to these
-tasks when spawning them. The type of the message payload must be specified in
-the signature of the task handler.
-
-The example below showcases three tasks, two of them expect a message.
-
-``` rust
-{{#include ../../../../examples/message.rs}}
-```
-
-``` console
-$ cargo run --example message
-{{#include ../../../../ci/expected/message.run}}
-```
-
-## Capacity
-
-RTIC does *not* perform any form of heap-based memory allocation. The memory
-required to store messages is statically reserved. By default the framework
-minimizes the memory footprint of the application so each task has a message
-"capacity" of 1: meaning that at most one message can be posted to the task
-before it gets a chance to run. This default can be overridden for each task
-using the `capacity` argument. This argument takes a positive integer that
-indicates how many messages the task message buffer can hold.
-
-The example below sets the capacity of the software task `foo` to 4. If the
-capacity is not specified then the second `spawn.foo` call in `UART0` would
-fail (panic).
-
-``` rust
-{{#include ../../../../examples/capacity.rs}}
-```
-
-``` console
-$ cargo run --example capacity
-{{#include ../../../../ci/expected/capacity.run}}
-```
-
-## Error handling
-
-The `spawn` API returns the `Err` variant when there's no space to send the
-message. In most scenarios spawning errors are handled in one of two ways:
-
-- Panicking, using `unwrap`, `expect`, etc. This approach is used to catch the
-  programmer   error (i.e. bug) of selecting a capacity that was too small. When
-  this panic is encountered during testing choosing a bigger capacity and
-  recompiling the program may fix the issue but sometimes it's necessary to dig
-  deeper and perform a timing analysis of the application to check if the
-  platform can deal with peak payload or if the processor needs to be replaced
-  with a faster one.
-
-- Ignoring the result. In soft real-time and non real-time applications it may
-  be OK to occasionally lose data or fail to respond to some events during event
-  bursts. In those scenarios silently letting a `spawn` call fail may be
-  acceptable.
-
-It should be noted that retrying a `spawn` call is usually the wrong approach as
-this operation will likely never succeed in practice. Because there are only
-context switches towards *higher* priority tasks retrying the `spawn` call of a
-lower priority task will never let the scheduler dispatch said task meaning that
-its message buffer will never be emptied. This situation is depicted in the
-following snippet:
-
-``` rust
-#[rtic::app(..)]
-mod app {
-    #[init(spawn = [foo, bar])]
-    fn init(cx: init::Context) {
-        cx.spawn.foo().unwrap();
-        cx.spawn.bar().unwrap();
-    }
-
-    #[task(priority = 2, spawn = [bar])]
-    fn foo(cx: foo::Context) {
-        // ..
-
-        // the program will get stuck here
-        while cx.spawn.bar(payload).is_err() {
-            // retry the spawn call if it failed
-        }
-    }
-
-    #[task(priority = 1)]
-    fn bar(cx: bar::Context, payload: i32) {
-        // ..
-    }
-}
-```
