# eventfd example

The example demonstrates the use of `eventfd()` to collect events from other tasks and ISRs in a
`select()` based main loop.  The example starts two tasks and installs a timer interrupt handler:
1. The first task writes to the first `eventfd` periodically.
2. The timer interrupt handler writes to the second `eventfd`.
3. The second task collects the event from two fds with a `select()` loop.

## How to use example

### Hardware Required

This example should be able to run on any commonly available ESP32, ESP32S2, ESP32S3 or ESP32C3 development board.

### Configure the project

```
idf.py menuconfig
```

The default config will work.

### Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

```
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

## Example Output

The following log output should appear when the example runs (note that the bootloader log has been omitted).
