This demo implements a single-producer, multi-consumer FreeRTOS-based (www.freertos.org) system with a shared buffer for data exchange. The producer uses a counter to generate data which is copied into a shared circular buffer for a number of consumers to process. When a consumer is done with the data, it decrements a shared barrier. The last consumer to process the data frees the relevant space in the circular buffer.

• The included Eclipse project is currently ported to use a Windows/MingW real-time "simulator", but can utilize other architectures using the portable files in the official FreeRTOS distribution.

[to be populated]

• Add a wrapper around the memcpy calls within circular buffer functions, to later implement thread-safe DMA transfers for embedded systems.
• Add producer/consumer counters in the shared cbuff to determine if locks are actually needed for read/writes.
• Clean up code formatting (as always).
