Macro Definition Documentation

◆ RING_BUF_DECLARE

#define RING_BUF_DECLARE (   name,
  size8 
)

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Value:
BUILD_ASSERT(size8 < RING_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE,\
RING_BUFFER_SIZE_ASSERT_MSG); \
static uint8_t __noinit _ring_buffer_data_##name[size8]; \
struct ring_buf name = { \
.buffer = _ring_buffer_data_##name, \
.size = size8 \
}
__UINT8_TYPE__ uint8_t
Definition: stdint.h:88
A structure to represent a ring buffer.
Definition: ring_buffer.h:41

Define and initialize a ring buffer for byte data.

This macro establishes a ring buffer of an arbitrary size. The basic storage unit is a byte.

The ring buffer can be accessed outside the module where it is defined using:

extern struct ring_buf <name>;
Parameters
nameName of the ring buffer.
size8Size of ring buffer (in bytes).

◆ RING_BUF_ITEM_DECLARE

#define RING_BUF_ITEM_DECLARE (   name,
  size32 
)

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Value:
BUILD_ASSERT((size32) < RING_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE / 4,\
RING_BUFFER_SIZE_ASSERT_MSG); \
static uint32_t __noinit _ring_buffer_data_##name[size32]; \
struct ring_buf name = { \
.buffer = (uint8_t *) _ring_buffer_data_##name, \
.size = 4 * (size32) \
}
__UINT32_TYPE__ uint32_t
Definition: stdint.h:90

Define and initialize an "item based" ring buffer.

This macro establishes an "item based" ring buffer. Each data item is an array of 32-bit words (from zero to 1020 bytes in length), coupled with a 16-bit type identifier and an 8-bit integer value.

The ring buffer can be accessed outside the module where it is defined using:

extern struct ring_buf <name>;
Parameters
nameName of the ring buffer.
size32Size of ring buffer (in 32-bit words).

  pow 
)     RING_BUF_ITEM_DECLARE(name, BIT(pow))

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Define and initialize a power-of-2 sized "item based" ring buffer.

This macro establishes an "item based" ring buffer by specifying its size using a power of 2. This exists mainly for backward compatibility reasons. RING_BUF_ITEM_DECLARE should be used instead.

Parameters
nameName of the ring buffer.
powRing buffer size exponent.

◆ RING_BUF_ITEM_DECLARE_SIZE

#define RING_BUF_ITEM_DECLARE_SIZE (   name,
  size32 
)     RING_BUF_ITEM_DECLARE(name, size32)

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Define and initialize an "item based" ring buffer.

This exists for backward compatibility reasons. RING_BUF_ITEM_DECLARE should be used instead.

Parameters
nameName of the ring buffer.
size32Size of ring buffer (in 32-bit words).

◆ RING_BUF_ITEM_SIZEOF

#define RING_BUF_ITEM_SIZEOF (   expr)    DIV_ROUND_UP(sizeof(expr), sizeof(uint32_t))

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Compute the ring buffer size in 32-bit needed to store an element.

The argument can be a type or an expression. Note: rounds up if the size is not a multiple of 32 bits.

Parameters
exprExpression or type to compute the size of

Function Documentation

◆ ring_buf_capacity_get()

static uint32_t ring_buf_capacity_get ( struct ring_buf buf)
inlinestatic

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Return ring buffer capacity.

Parameters
bufAddress of ring buffer.
Returns
Ring buffer capacity (in bytes).

◆ ring_buf_get()

uint8_t data,
uint32_t  size 
)

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Read data from a ring buffer.

This routine reads data from a ring buffer buf.

Warning
Use cases involving multiple reads of the ring buffer must prevent concurrent read operations, either by preventing all readers from being preempted or by using a mutex to govern reads to the ring buffer.
Ring buffer instance should not mix byte access and item mode (calls prefixed with ring_buf_item_).
Parameters
bufAddress of ring buffer.
dataAddress of the output buffer. Can be NULL to discard data.
sizeData size (in bytes).
Return values
Numberof bytes written to the output buffer.

◆ ring_buf_get_claim()

uint32_t ring_buf_get_claim ( struct ring_buf buf,
uint8_t **  data,
uint32_t  size 
)

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Get address of a valid data in a ring buffer.

With this routine, memory copying can be reduced since internal ring buffer can be used directly by the user. Once data is processed it must be freed using ring_buf_get_finish.

Warning
Use cases involving multiple reads of the ring buffer must prevent concurrent read operations, either by preventing all readers from being preempted or by using a mutex to govern reads to the ring buffer.
Ring buffer instance should not mix byte access and item access (calls prefixed with ring_buf_item_).
Parameters
[in]bufAddress of ring buffer.
[out]dataPointer to the address. It is set to a location within ring buffer.
[in]sizeRequested size (in bytes).
Returns
Number of valid bytes in the provided buffer which can be smaller than requested if there is not enough free space or buffer wraps.

◆ ring_buf_get_finish()

int ring_buf_get_finish ( struct ring_buf buf,
uint32_t  size 
)

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Indicate number of bytes read from claimed buffer.

The number of bytes must be equal or lower than the sum corresponding to all preceding ring_buf_get_claim invocations (or even 0). Surplus bytes will remain available in the buffer.

Warning
Use cases involving multiple reads of the ring buffer must prevent concurrent read operations, either by preventing all readers from being preempted or by using a mutex to govern reads to the ring buffer.
Ring buffer instance should not mix byte access and item mode (calls prefixed with ring_buf_item_).
Parameters
bufAddress of ring buffer.
sizeNumber of bytes that can be freed.
Return values
0Successful operation.
-EINVALProvided size exceeds valid bytes in the ring buffer.

Any value other than 0 makes sense only in validation testing context.

static bool ring_buf_is_empty ( struct ring_buf buf)
inlinestatic

#include <zephyr/sys/ring_buffer.h>

Determine if a ring buffer is empty.

This routine reads a data item from ring buffer buf. The data item is an array of 32-bit words (up to 1020 bytes in length), coupled with a 16-bit type identifier and an 8-bit integer value.

Warning
Use cases involving multiple reads of the ring buffer must prevent concurrent read operations, either by preventing all readers from being preempted or by using a mutex to govern reads to the ring buffer.
