VxWorks 7: Inter-task Communication
Learn about the different mechanisms for communicating between tasks.
VxWorks supports several different methods for inter-task communication. It can use shared memory, message queues or pipes. In some cases synchronization and mutual exclusion is built in to the method on others it must be added by the user. Communication is supported between user space and kernel space.
