 /*
  * This demo application creates six co-routines and two tasks (three including
  * the idle task).  The co-routines execute as part of the idle task hook.
  *
  * Five of the created co-routines are the standard 'co-routine flash'
  * co-routines contained within the Demo/Common/Minimal/crflash.c file and
  * documented on the FreeRTOS.org WEB site.
  *
  * The 'LCD Task' rotates a string on the LCD, delaying between each character
  * as necessitated by the slow interface, and delaying between each string just
  * long enough to enable the text to be read.
  *
  * The sixth co-routine and final task control the transmission and reception
  * of a string to UART 0.  The co-routine periodically sends the first
  * character of the string to the UART, with the UART's TxEnd interrupt being
  * used to transmit the remaining characters.  The UART's RxEnd interrupt
  * receives the characters and places them on a queue to be processed by the
  * 'COMs Rx' task.  An error is latched should an unexpected character be
  * received, or any character be received out of sequence.
  *
  * A loopback connector is required to ensure that each character transmitted
  * on the UART is also received on the same UART.  For test purposes the UART
  * FIFO's are not utalised in order to maximise the interrupt overhead.  Also
  * a pseudo random interval is used between the start of each transmission in
  * order that the resultant interrupts are more randomly distributed and
  * therefore more likely to highlight any problems.
  *
  * The flash co-routines control LED's zero to four.  LED five is toggled each
  * time the string is transmitted on the UART.  LED six is toggled each time
  * the string is CORRECTLY received on the UART.  LED seven is latched on should
  * an error be detected in any task or co-routine.
  *
  * In addition the idle task makes repetative calls to
  * prvSetAndCheckRegisters().  This simply loads the general purpose registers
  * with a known value, then checks each register to ensure the held value is
  * still correct.  As a low priority task this checking routine is likely to
  * get repeatedly swapped in and out.  A register being found to contain an
  * incorrect value is therefore indicative of an error in the task switching
  * mechansim.

	/*
	* This demo application creates six co-routines and two tasks (three including
	* the idle task). The co-routines execute as part of the idle task hook.
	*
	* Five of the created co-routines are the standard 'co-routine flash'
	* co-routines contained within the Demo/Common/Minimal/crflash.c file and
	* documented on the FreeRTOS.org WEB site.
	*
	* The 'LCD Task' rotates a string on the LCD, delaying between each character
	* as necessitated by the slow interface, and delaying between each string just
	* long enough to enable the text to be read.
	*
	* The sixth co-routine and final task control the transmission and reception
	* of a string to UART 0. The co-routine periodically sends the first
	* character of the string to the UART, with the UART's TxEnd interrupt being
	* used to transmit the remaining characters. The UART's RxEnd interrupt
	* receives the characters and places them on a queue to be processed by the
	* 'COMs Rx' task. An error is latched should an unexpected character be
	* received, or any character be received out of sequence.
	*
	* A loopback connector is required to ensure that each character transmitted
	* on the UART is also received on the same UART. For test purposes the UART
	* FIFO's are not utalised in order to maximise the interrupt overhead. Also
	* a pseudo random interval is used between the start of each transmission in
	* order that the resultant interrupts are more randomly distributed and
	* therefore more likely to highlight any problems.
	*
	* The flash co-routines control LED's zero to four. LED five is toggled each
	* time the string is transmitted on the UART. LED six is toggled each time
	* the string is CORRECTLY received on the UART. LED seven is latched on should
	* an error be detected in any task or co-routine.
	*
	* In addition the idle task makes repetative calls to
	* prvSetAndCheckRegisters(). This simply loads the general purpose registers
	* with a known value, then checks each register to ensure the held value is
	* still correct. As a low priority task this checking routine is likely to
	* get repeatedly swapped in and out. A register being found to contain an
	* incorrect value is therefore indicative of an error in the task switching
	* mechansim.
