I have this doubt, i am using freertos to create tasks. There is always one task which is active. It will trigger other tasks based on the external serial data uart. Say i received data as 1 and run Task1, if i receive data as 2 i run Task2. But before running Task2 i want to confirm if Task1 has exited properly. I am not sure how to do. Please advise.
Use a mutex.
Or call this yourself from the base task.
This page describes the RTOS vTaskDelete() FreeRTOS API function which is part of the RTOS task control API. FreeRTOS is a professional grade, small footprint, open source RTOS for microcontrollers.

Can a task exit improperly?
Would an error be an improper exit?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I think i have not explained properly. What i want to convey is before running Task2, the Task1 may require some time to perform its closing activities before it is abruptly stopped and the other task gets started. I want the main task to confirm that the Task1 has done all its closing activities.Originally Posted by Salem
Why are you bothering with more than one task, if they run mutually exclusively anyway?
