 * Create a new task and add it to the list of tasks that are ready to run.
 *
 * Internally, within the FreeRTOS implementation, tasks use two blocks of
 * memory.  The first block is used to hold the task's data structures.  The
 * second block is used by the task as its stack.  If a task is created using
 * xTaskCreate() then both blocks of memory are automatically dynamically
 * allocated inside the xTaskCreate() function.  (see
 * https://www.FreeRTOS.org/a00111.html).  If a task is created using
 * xTaskCreateStatic() then the application writer must provide the required
 * memory.  xTaskCreateStatic() therefore allows a task to be created without
 * using any dynamic memory allocation.
 *
 * See xTaskCreateStatic() for a version that does not use any dynamic memory
 * allocation.
 *
 * xTaskCreate() can only be used to create a task that has unrestricted
 * access to the entire microcontroller memory map.  Systems that include MPU
 * support can alternatively create an MPU constrained task using
 * xTaskCreateRestricted().
 *
 * @param pvTaskCode Pointer to the task entry function.  Tasks
 * must be implemented to never return (i.e. continuous loop).
 *
 * @param pcName A descriptive name for the task.  This is mainly used to
 * facilitate debugging.  Max length defined by configMAX_TASK_NAME_LEN - default
 * is 16.
 *
 * @param usStackDepth The size of the task stack specified as the number of
 * variables the stack can hold - not the number of bytes.  For example, if
 * the stack is 16 bits wide and usStackDepth is defined as 100, 200 bytes
 * will be allocated for stack storage.
 *
 * @param pvParameters Pointer that will be used as the parameter for the task
 * being created.
 *
 * @param uxPriority The priority at which the task should run.  Systems that
 * include MPU support can optionally create tasks in a privileged (system)
 * mode by setting bit portPRIVILEGE_BIT of the priority parameter.  For
 * example, to create a privileged task at priority 2 the uxPriority parameter
 * should be set to ( 2 | portPRIVILEGE_BIT ).
 *

 * can be referenced.
 *

 * list, otherwise an error code defined in the file projdefs.h

 * MPU implementation.
 *
 * Internally, within the FreeRTOS implementation, tasks use two blocks of
 * memory.  The first block is used to hold the task's data structures.  The
 * second block is used by the task as its stack.  If a task is created using
 * xTaskCreateRestricted() then the stack is provided by the application writer,
 * and the memory used to hold the task's data structure is automatically
 * dynamically allocated inside the xTaskCreateRestricted() function.  If a task
 * is created using xTaskCreateRestrictedStatic() then the application writer
 * must provide the memory used to hold the task's data structures too.
 * xTaskCreateRestrictedStatic() therefore allows a memory protected task to be
 * created without using any dynamic memory allocation.
 *
 * @param pxTaskDefinition Pointer to a structure that contains a member
 * for each of the normal xTaskCreate() parameters (see the xTaskCreate() API
 * documentation) plus an optional stack buffer and the memory region
 * definitions.  If configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION is set to 1 the structure
 * contains an additional member, which is used to point to a variable of type
 * StaticTask_t - which is then used to hold the task's data structure.
 *

 * can be referenced.

 *
 * This function differs from vTaskDelay () in one important aspect:  vTaskDelay () will

 * called.  It is therefore difficult to use vTaskDelay () by itself to generate a fixed
 * execution frequency as the time between a task starting to execute and that task
 * calling vTaskDelay () may not be fixed [the task may take a different path though the
 * code between calls, or may get interrupted or preempted a different number of times
 * each time it executes].
 *
 * Whereas vTaskDelay () specifies a wake time relative to the time at which the function
 * is called, vTaskDelayUntil () specifies the absolute (exact) time at which it wishes to
 * unblock.
 *
 * The constant portTICK_PERIOD_MS can be used to calculate real time from the tick

 *

 *
 * Each task has a private array of "notification values" (or 'notifications'),
 * each of which is a 32-bit unsigned integer (uint32_t).  The constant
 * configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES sets the number of indexes in the

 * Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 there was only one notification value per task.
 *
 * Events can be sent to a task using an intermediary object.  Examples of such
 * objects are queues, semaphores, mutexes and event groups.  Task notifications
 * are a method of sending an event directly to a task without the need for such
 * an intermediary object.
 *
 * A notification sent to a task can optionally perform an action, such as
 * update, overwrite or increment one of the task's notification values.  In
 * that way task notifications can be used to send data to a task, or be used as
 * light weight and fast binary or counting semaphores.
 *
 * A task can use xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() to [optionally] block to wait for a
 * notification to be pending, or ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() to [optionally] block
 * to wait for a notification value to have a non-zero value.  The task does
 * not consume any CPU time while it is in the Blocked state.
 *
 * A notification sent to a task will remain pending until it is cleared by the
 * task calling xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() or ulTaskNotifyTakeIndexed() (or their
 * un-indexed equivalents).  If the task was already in the Blocked state to
 * wait for a notification when the notification arrives then the task will
 * automatically be removed from the Blocked state (unblocked) and the
 * notification cleared.
 *
 * **NOTE** Each notification within the array operates independently - a task
 * can only block on one notification within the array at a time and will not be
 * unblocked by a notification sent to any other array index.
 *
 * Backward compatibility information:
 * Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 each task had a single "notification value", and
 * all task notification API functions operated on that value. Replacing the
 * single notification value with an array of notification values necessitated a
 * new set of API functions that could address specific notifications within the
 * array.  xTaskNotify() is the original API function, and remains backward
 * compatible by always operating on the notification value at index 0 in the
 * array. Calling xTaskNotify() is equivalent to calling xTaskNotifyIndexed()
 * with the uxIndexToNotify parameter set to 0.
 *
 * @param xTaskToNotify The handle of the task being notified.  The handle to a
 * task can be returned from the xTaskCreate() API function used to create the
 * task, and the handle of the currently running task can be obtained by calling
 * xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle().
 *
 * @param uxIndexToNotify The index within the target task's array of
 * notification values to which the notification is to be sent.  uxIndexToNotify
 * must be less than configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES.  xTaskNotify() does
 * not have this parameter and always sends notifications to index 0.
 *
 * @param ulValue Data that can be sent with the notification.  How the data is
 * used depends on the value of the eAction parameter.
 *
 * @param eAction Specifies how the notification updates the task's notification
 * value, if at all.  Valid values for eAction are as follows:
 *
 * eSetBits -
 * The target notification value is bitwise ORed with ulValue.
 * xTaskNofifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case.
 *
 * eIncrement -
 * The target notification value is incremented.  ulValue is not used and
 * xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case.
 *
 * eSetValueWithOverwrite -
 * The target notification value is set to the value of ulValue, even if the
 * task being notified had not yet processed the previous notification at the
 * same array index (the task already had a notification pending at that index).
 * xTaskNotifyIndexed() always returns pdPASS in this case.
 *
 * eSetValueWithoutOverwrite -
 * If the task being notified did not already have a notification pending at the

 *
 * A version of xTaskNotifyGiveIndexed() that can be called from an interrupt

 *
 * See https://www.FreeRTOS.org/RTOS-task-notifications.html for more details.
 *
 * configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS must be undefined or defined as 1 for this macro
 * to be available.
 *
 * Each task has a private array of "notification values" (or 'notifications'),
 * each of which is a 32-bit unsigned integer (uint32_t).  The constant
 * configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES sets the number of indexes in the
 * array, and (for backward compatibility) defaults to 1 if left undefined.
 * Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 there was only one notification value per task.
 *
 * Events can be sent to a task using an intermediary object.  Examples of such
 * objects are queues, semaphores, mutexes and event groups.  Task notifications
 * are a method of sending an event directly to a task without the need for such
 * an intermediary object.
 *
 * A notification sent to a task can optionally perform an action, such as
 * update, overwrite or increment one of the task's notification values.  In
 * that way task notifications can be used to send data to a task, or be used as
 * light weight and fast binary or counting semaphores.
 *
 * vTaskNotifyGiveIndexedFromISR() is intended for use when task notifications
 * are used as light weight and faster binary or counting semaphore equivalents.
 * Actual FreeRTOS semaphores are given from an ISR using the
 * xSemaphoreGiveFromISR() API function, the equivalent action that instead uses
 * a task notification is vTaskNotifyGiveIndexedFromISR().
 *
 * When task notifications are being used as a binary or counting semaphore
 * equivalent then the task being notified should wait for the notification
 * using the ulTaskNotificationTakeIndexed() API function rather than the
 * xTaskNotifyWaitIndexed() API function.
 *
 * **NOTE** Each notification within the array operates independently - a task
 * can only block on one notification within the array at a time and will not be
 * unblocked by a notification sent to any other array index.
 *
 * Backward compatibility information:
 * Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 each task had a single "notification value", and
 * all task notification API functions operated on that value. Replacing the
 * single notification value with an array of notification values necessitated a
 * new set of API functions that could address specific notifications within the
 * array.  xTaskNotifyFromISR() is the original API function, and remains
 * backward compatible by always operating on the notification value at index 0
 * within the array. Calling xTaskNotifyGiveFromISR() is equivalent to calling
 * xTaskNotifyGiveIndexedFromISR() with the uxIndexToNotify parameter set to 0.
 *
 * @param xTaskToNotify The handle of the task being notified.  The handle to a
 * task can be returned from the xTaskCreate() API function used to create the
 * task, and the handle of the currently running task can be obtained by calling
 * xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle().
 *
 * @param uxIndexToNotify The index within the target task's array of
 * notification values to which the notification is to be sent.  uxIndexToNotify
 * must be less than configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES.
 * xTaskNotifyGiveFromISR() does not have this parameter and always sends
 * notifications to index 0.
 *
 * @param pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken  vTaskNotifyGiveFromISR() will set
 * *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken to pdTRUE if sending the notification caused the
 * task to which the notification was sent to leave the Blocked state, and the
 * unblocked task has a priority higher than the currently running task.  If
 * vTaskNotifyGiveFromISR() sets this value to pdTRUE then a context switch
 * should be requested before the interrupt is exited.  How a context switch is
 * requested from an ISR is dependent on the port - see the documentation page
 * for the port in use.
