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?
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.Quote:
