Switch between tasks immediately with a notify API or other solution

HI,

I’m working on my first big project, and I’ve run into an issue.

The requirements are to implement such functionality that when I send a Notify from Task01 to Task02, then immediately Task 2 will run (Task02 in Blocking Mode due to NotifyWait).
then only when Task02 finishes and again waits for Notify, then Task01 continues from the same point.

Thanks!

Just make Task 2 a higher priority than Task 1 and it will work as expected.

One quick comment, if the definition really is that task1 runs until it gets to a given point, and then you switch to task2, and task1 gets no time (even if it blocks for some I/O) until it is done, then it really make sense to combine those two tasks into just a single task.

Adding to RealtimeRik’s answer - if the notification if from an interrupt then make sure to use the xHigherPriorityTaskWoken parameter (always the last parameter in any of the ‘FromISR’ functions) - otherwise the context switch will not occur until the next tick interrupt. Check the API docs for an example.
