- * - @ref naming
- * - @ref api_suffixes
- * - @ref interrupt_classes
- * - @ref system_states
- * - @ref scheduling
- * - @ref thread_states
- * - @ref priority
- * - @ref warea
- * .
- * @section naming Naming Conventions
- * ChibiOS/RT APIs are all named following this convention:
- * @a ch\\\().
- * The possible groups are: @a Sys, @a Sch, @a Time, @a VT, @a Thd, @a Sem,
- * @a Mtx, @a Cond, @a Evt, @a Msg, @a Reg, @a SequentialStream, @a IO, @a IQ,
- * @a OQ, @a Dbg, @a Core, @a Heap, @a Pool.
- *
- * @section api_suffixes API Name Suffixes
- * The suffix can be one of the following:
- * - None, APIs without any suffix can be invoked only from the user
- * code in the Normal state unless differently specified. See
- * @ref system_states.
- * - @anchor I-Class "I", I-Class APIs are invokable only from the
- * I-Locked or S-Locked states. See @ref system_states.
- * - @anchor S-Class "S", S-Class APIs are invokable only from the
- * S-Locked state. See @ref system_states.
- * .
- * Examples: @p chThdCreateStatic(), @p chSemSignalI(), @p chIQGetTimeout().
- *
- * @section interrupt_classes Interrupt Classes
- * In ChibiOS/RT there are three logical interrupt classes:
- * - Regular Interrupts. Maskable interrupt sources that cannot
- * preempt (small parts of) the kernel code and are thus able to invoke
- * operating system APIs from within their handlers. The interrupt handlers
- * belonging to this class must be written following some rules. See the
- * system APIs group and the web article
- *
- * How to write interrupt handlers.
- * - Fast Interrupts. Maskable interrupt sources with the ability
- * to preempt the kernel code and thus have a lower latency and are less
- * subject to jitter, see the web article
- *
- * Response Time and Jitter.
- * Such sources are not supported on all the architectures.
- * Fast interrupts are not allowed to invoke any operating system API from
- * within their handlers. Fast interrupt sources may, however, pend a lower
- * priority regular interrupt where access to the operating system is
- * possible.
- * - Non Maskable Interrupts. Non maskable interrupt sources are
- * totally out of the operating system control and have the lowest latency.
- * Such sources are not supported on all the architectures.
- * .
- * The mapping of the above logical classes into physical interrupts priorities
- * is, of course, port dependent. See the documentation of the various ports
- * for details.
- *
- * @section system_states System States
- * When using ChibiOS/RT the system can be in one of the following logical
- * operating states:
- * - Init. When the system is in this state all the maskable
- * interrupt sources are disabled. In this state it is not possible to use
- * any system API except @p chSysInit(). This state is entered after a
- * physical reset.
- * - Normal. All the interrupt sources are enabled and the system APIs
- * are accessible, threads are running.
- * - Suspended. In this state the fast interrupt sources are enabled but
- * the regular interrupt sources are not. In this state it is not possible
- * to use any system API except @p chSysDisable() or @p chSysEnable() in
- * order to change state.
- * - Disabled. When the system is in this state both the maskable
- * regular and fast interrupt sources are disabled. In this state it is not
- * possible to use any system API except @p chSysSuspend() or
- * @p chSysEnable() in order to change state.
- * - Sleep. Architecture-dependent low power mode, the idle thread
- * goes in this state and waits for interrupts, after servicing the interrupt
- * the Normal state is restored and the scheduler has a chance to reschedule.
- * - S-Locked. Kernel locked and regular interrupt sources disabled.
- * Fast interrupt sources are enabled. @ref S-Class and @ref I-Class APIs are
- * invokable in this state.
- * - I-Locked. Kernel locked and regular interrupt sources disabled.
- * @ref I-Class APIs are invokable from this state.
- * - Serving Regular Interrupt. No system APIs are accessible but it is
- * possible to switch to the I-Locked state using @p chSysLockFromIsr() and
- * then invoke any @ref I-Class API. Interrupt handlers can be preemptable on
- * some architectures thus is important to switch to I-Locked state before
- * invoking system APIs.
- * - Serving Fast Interrupt. System APIs are not accessible.
- * - Serving Non-Maskable Interrupt. System APIs are not accessible.
- * - Halted. All interrupt sources are disabled and system stopped into
- * an infinite loop. This state can be reached if the debug mode is activated
- * and an error is detected or after explicitly invoking
- * @p chSysHalt().
- * .
- * Note that the above states are just Logical States that may have no
- * real associated machine state on some architectures. The following diagram
- * shows the possible transitions between the states:

- * @section priority Priority Levels
- * Priorities in ChibiOS/RT are a contiguous numerical range but the initial
- * and final values are not enforced.
- * The following table describes the various priority boundaries (from lowest
- * to highest):
- * - @p IDLEPRIO, this is the lowest priority level and is reserved for the
- * idle thread, no other threads should share this priority level. This is
- * the lowest numerical value of the priorities space.
- * - @p LOWPRIO, the lowest priority level that can be assigned to an user
- * thread.
- * - @p NORMALPRIO, this is the central priority level for user threads. It is
- * advisable to assign priorities to threads as values relative to
- * @p NORMALPRIO, as example NORMALPRIO-1 or NORMALPRIO+4, this ensures the
- * portability of code should the numerical range change in future
- * implementations.
- * - @p HIGHPRIO, the highest priority level that can be assigned to an user
- * thread.
- * - @p ABSPRO, absolute maximum software priority level, it can be higher than
- * @p HIGHPRIO but the numerical values above @p HIGHPRIO up to @p ABSPRIO
- * (inclusive) are reserved. This is the highest numerical value of the
- * priorities space.
- * .
- * @section warea Thread Working Area
- * Each thread has its own stack, a Thread structure and some preemption
- * areas. All the structures are allocated into a "Thread Working Area",
- * a thread private heap, usually statically declared in your code.
- * Threads do not use any memory outside the allocated working area
- * except when accessing static shared data.
- * @if LATEX_PDF
- * @image latex workspace.eps
- * @else
- * @image html workspace.png
- * @endif
- *
- * Note that the preemption area is only present when the thread is not
- * running (switched out), the context switching is done by pushing the
- * registers on the stack of the switched-out thread and popping the registers
- * of the switched-in thread from its stack.
- * The preemption area can be divided in up to three structures:
- * - External Context.
- * - Interrupt Stack.
- * - Internal Context.
- * .
- * See the port documentation for details, the area may change on
- * the various ports and some structures may not be present (or be zero-sized).
