Co-routines are only intended for use on very small processors that have severe RAM constraints, and would not
normally be used on 32-bit microcontrollers.
A co-routine can exist in one of the following states:
Running
When a co-routine is actually executing it is said to be in the Running state. It is currently utilising the processor.
Ready
Ready co-routines are those that are able to execute (they are not blocked) but are not currently executing. A co-routine may be in the Ready state because:
Another co-routine of equal or higher priority is already in the Running state, or
A task is in the Running state - this can only be the case if the application uses both tasks and co-routines.
Blocked
A co-routine is said to be in the Blocked state if it is currently waiting for either a temporal or external event.
For example, if a co-routine calls crDELAY() it will block (be placed into the Blocked state) until the delay period has expired - a temporal event.
Blocked co-routines are not available for scheduling.
There is currently no co-routine equivalent to a tasks Suspended state.
