.. zephyr:code-sample:: zbus-priority-boost :name: zbus Priority Boost :relevant-api: zbus_apis Illustrates zbus priority boost feature with a priority inversion scenario. Overview ******** This sample implements a simple application that illustrates the priority boost feature. The application implements the below figure scenario. When the priority boost feature is disabled, the execution sequence presents a priority inversion problem, which may not affect much of the developer's application. Those who want to avoid priority inversions between message subscribers and plain subscribers should use the priority boost strategy. .. code-block:: c ZBUS_CHAN_DEFINE(chan_a, int, NULL, NULL, ZBUS_OBSERVERS(l1, ms1, ms2, s1, l2), 0 ); .. figure:: ../../../../../../../../../zephyr/samples/subsys/zbus/priority_boost/zbus_publishing_process_example_scenario.svg :alt: ZBus priority boost scenario example. :width: 45% .. note:: The developer must use the :c:func:`zbus_obs_attach_to_thread` function to ensure a proper priority boost execution.
