The DPP example is located in the directory qpcpp/examples/arm-cm/dpp_efm32-slstk3401a and includes versions for cooperative QV kernel, the preemptive QK kernel, and the preemptive dual mode QXK RTOS kernel each provided for the ARM-KEIL, GNU-ARM, and IAR-ARM. The following annotated directory listing describes the contents of the example folder:

Running the Example

Once programmed into the board, the example rapidly toggles the LED1 from the idle loop (LED1 glows) and toggles LED0 as the Philosophers change their state. Additionally, you can depress and hold the BTN0 button (left) to PAUSE the application (Table transitions into the "paused" state). Releasing the BTN0 button causes transition back to the "serving" state.

QP/Spy Software Tracing

The application also demonstrates QP/Spy software tracing output and input. To exercise this feature, you need to build and upload the Spy build configuration into the board.
