aimrt.main_thread

Configuration Overview

The main thread is the startup thread of the AimRT instance, and is usually also the process startup thread. For details, please refer to AimRT Core Design Philosophy.

The aimrt.main_thread configuration item is used to configure the main thread. The detailed configuration items are described below:

Node	Type	Optional	Default Value	Purpose
name	string	Optional	“aimrt_main”	Main thread name
thread_sched_policy	string	Optional	“”	Thread scheduling policy
thread_bind_cpu	unsigned int array	Optional	[]	CPU binding configuration

Notes for using aimrt.main_thread:

• name configures the main thread name, which calls some operating system APIs during implementation. If the operating system does not support it, this configuration item will be invalid.

• thread_sched_policy and thread_bind_cpu refer to the thread CPU binding configuration instructions in Common Information.

Usage Example

Below is a simple example:

aimrt:
  main_thread:
    name: main_thread
    thread_sched_policy: SCHED_FIFO:80
    thread_bind_cpu: [0, 1]
