<a name="details" id="details"></a><h2 class="groupheader">Description</h2>
<p><b>Mutual exclusion</b> (widely known as <b>Mutex</b>) is used in various operating systems for resource management. Many resources in a microcontroller device can be used repeatedly, but only by one thread at a time (for example communication channels, memory, and files). Mutexes are used to protect access to a shared resource. A mutex is created and then passed between the threads (they can acquire and release the mutex).</p>
<div class="image">
<img src="Mutex.png" alt="Mutex.png"/>
<div class="caption">
CMSIS-RTOS Mutex</div></div>
<p> A mutex is a special version of a <a class="el" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___semaphore_mgmt.html">semaphore</a>. Like the semaphore, it is a container for tokens. But instead of being able to have multiple tokens, a mutex can only carry one (representing the resource). Thus, a mutex token is binary and bounded. The advantage of a mutex is that it introduces thread ownership. When a thread acquires a mutex and becomes its owner, subsequent mutex acquires from that thread will succeed immediately without any latency. Thus, mutex acquires/releases can be nested.</p>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd><ul>
<li>Mutex management functions cannot be called from interrupt service routines (ISR), unlike a binary semaphore that can be released from an ISR.</li>
</ul>
</dd></dl>
<h2>Working with Mutexes</h2>
<p>To use mutexes, you need to follow these steps for creating and using them:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Declare the mutex container and initialize the mutex: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___mutex_mgmt.html#ga9b522438489d7c402c95332b58bc94f3" title="Define a Mutex.">osMutexDef</a> (uart_mutex);    <span class="comment">// Declare mutex</span></div>

</div><!-- fragment --></li>

</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>When finished with the peripheral access, release the mutex: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___mutex_mgmt.html#ga006e4744d741e8e132c3d5bbc295afe1" title="Release a Mutex that was obtained by osMutexWait.">osMutexRelease</a>(uart_mutex_id);</div>
