        BaseType_t xEventGroupSetBitsFromISR( EventGroupHandle_t xEventGroup, const EventBits_t uxBitsToSet, BaseType_t *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken );

A version of xEventGroupSetBits() that can be called from an interrupt.

Setting bits in an event group is not a deterministic operation because there are an unknown number of tasks that may be waiting for the bit or bits being set. FreeRTOS does not allow nondeterministic operations to be performed in interrupts or from critical sections. Therefore xEventGroupSetBitsFromISR() sends a message to the timer task to have the set operation performed in the context of the timer task - where a scheduler lock is used in place of a critical section.

Parameters

xEventGroup	The event group in which the bits are to be set.
uxBitsToSet	A bitwise value that indicates the bit or bits to set. For example, to set bit 3 only, set uxBitsToSet to 0x08. To set bit 3 and bit 0 set uxBitsToSet to 0x09.
pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken	As mentioned above, calling this function will result in a message being sent to the timer daemon task. If the priority of the timer daemon task is higher than the priority of the currently running task (the task the interrupt interrupted) then pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken will be set to pdTRUE by xEventGroupSetBitsFromISR(), indicating that a context switch should be requested before the interrupt exits. For that reason pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken must be initialised to pdFALSE. See the example code below.

Returns: If the request to execute the function was posted successfully then pdPASS is returned, otherwise pdFALSE is returned. pdFALSE will be returned if the timer service queue was full.

Example usage:

   #define BIT_0        ( 1 << 0 )
   #define BIT_4        ( 1 << 4 )

An event group which it is assumed has already been created by a call to
xEventGroupCreate().
   EventGroupHandle_t xEventGroup;

   void anInterruptHandler( void )
   {
   BaseType_t xHigherPriorityTaskWoken, xResult;

xHigherPriorityTaskWoken must be initialised to pdFALSE.
                xHigherPriorityTaskWoken = pdFALSE;

Set bit 0 and bit 4 in xEventGroup.
                xResult = xEventGroupSetBitsFromISR(
                                                        xEventGroup,    // The event group being updated.
                                                        BIT_0 | BIT_4   // The bits being set.
                                                        &xHigherPriorityTaskWoken );

Was the message posted successfully?
                if( xResult == pdPASS )
                {
If xHigherPriorityTaskWoken is now set to pdTRUE then a context
switch should be requested.  The macro used is port specific and
will be either portYIELD_FROM_ISR() or portEND_SWITCHING_ISR() -
refer to the documentation page for the port being used.
                        portYIELD_FROM_ISR( xHigherPriorityTaskWoken );
                }
  }
