Chopstx - Threads and only Threads

What's Chopstx?
===============
Chopstx is an RT thread library for STM32F103 and GD32F103 (ARM
Cortex-M3), STM32F030 (ARM Cortex-M0), MKL27Z (ARM Cortex-M0plus), and
emulation on GNU/Linux.
While most RTOSes come with many features, drivers, and protocol
stacks, Chopstx just offers a simple RT thread library.
With Chopstx, interrupt handling is also done by a thread. This
enables coherent code for ease of maintenance.
While threads are important, we don't need more threads than
necessary. Chopstx provides a feature of poll, so that we can
minimize use of threads.
Note that this library is _not_ related to the hand game:

Thanks to Yao Wei and Enrico Zini for giving me an opportunity
visiting the wiki page above, when my children were playing the game.

Example code
============
We have some examples in this distribution; Useful ones are LED
blinker and USB CDC-ACM device. For STM32F103, you can build it USB
CDC-ACM demo by:
$ cd example-cdc
$ ln -sf ../board/board-olimex-stm32-h103.h board.h
$ make
If you want to try GD32F103, Add -DMHZ=96 to DEFS in Makefile.
For a specific board named FSM-55, an example of LED matrix dynamic
driver is provided. See the directory: example-fsm-55.
For STM32 Primer2, see the directory: example-primer2.
Future Works
============
Convenience function to determine the bottom of thread stack,
configuration of thread size by compiler's output would be next things
to be done.
Experimental SMP port for Cortex-A7 is under development. For SMP,
more careful considerations for shared access to objects of struct
chx_pq is needed. So, modifications required will not be small.
