AqHome Node Operating System
============================
This is a very simple operating system for AVR nodes using ATtiny and ATmega MCUs.
It doesn't use administration objects in RAM, it just defines some routine calls which
have to be added into the system to add new drivers and modules.
The following routine types are defined:
Function Description required add to file
INIT init module/app yes modules_init.asm or apps_init.asm
RUN called from the main loop no modules_run.asm or apps_run.asm
MSGRECVD called when new messages arrive no modules_msg.asm or apps_msg.asm
EVERY100MS called every 100 millisecs (system timer tick) no modules_100ms.asm or apps_100ms.asm
EVERY1S called every second no modules_1s.asm or apps_1s.asm
EVERY1M called every minute no modules_1m.asm or apps_1m.asm
EVERY1H called every hour no modules_1h.asm or apps_1h.asm
EVERY1D called every day no modules_1d.asm or apps_1d.asm
Not all modules implement all those functions. Some modules only need to be called
once every main loop, others need to be called periodically every once in a while.
If a module implements a function a call to that routine must be inserted into the appropriate
file in "avr/devices/all/".
In order to make it easier for devices to optionally include modules/apps those calls need to be
between preprocessor directives like in:
----------------------------------X8
#ifdef MODULES_DS18B20
bigcall Ds18b20_OnEverySecond
#endif
----------------------------------X8
This way it is very easy to use a module (like that DS18B20 module) by using the
following line in your main code:
----------------------------------X8
#define MODULES_DS18B20
----------------------------------X8
This enables all the function calls for this module. Nothing else needs to be changed in your main
code file in order to enable that module.
