CONFIG_MULTITHREADING

Multi-threading (DEPRECATED)

Type: bool

Help

Disabling this option is DEPRECATED.

If disabled, only the main thread is available, so a main() function must be provided. Interrupts are available. Kernel objects will most probably not behave as expected, especially with regards to pending, since the main thread cannot pend, it being the only thread in the system.

Many drivers and subsystems will not work with this option set to ‘n’; disable only when you REALLY know what you are doing.
