 * 								TimerCallbackFunction_t pxCallbackFunction );
 *
 * Creates a new software timer instance.  This allocates the storage required
 * by the new timer, initialises the new timers internal state, and returns a
 * handle by which the new timer can be referenced.
 *
 * Timers are created in the dormant state.  The xTimerStart(), xTimerReset(),
 * xTimerStartFromISR(), xTimerResetFromISR(), xTimerChangePeriod() and
 * xTimerChangePeriodFromISR() API functions can all be used to transition a
 * timer into the active state.
 *
 * @param pcTimerName A text name that is assigned to the timer.  This is done
 * purely to assist debugging.  The kernel itself only ever references a timer
 * by its handle, and never by its name.
 *
 * @param xTimerPeriodInTicks The timer period.  The time is defined in tick
 * periods so the constant portTICK_PERIOD_MS can be used to convert a time that
 * has been specified in milliseconds.  For example, if the timer must expire
 * after 100 ticks, then xTimerPeriodInTicks should be set to 100.
 * Alternatively, if the timer must expire after 500ms, then xPeriod can be set
 * to ( 500 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS ) provided configTICK_RATE_HZ is less than or
 * equal to 1000.
 *
 * @param uxAutoReload If uxAutoReload is set to pdTRUE then the timer will
 * expire repeatedly with a frequency set by the xTimerPeriodInTicks parameter.
 * If uxAutoReload is set to pdFALSE then the timer will be a one-shot timer and
 * enter the dormant state after it expires.
 *
 * @param pvTimerID An identifier that is assigned to the timer being created.
 * Typically this would be used in the timer callback function to identify which
 * timer expired when the same callback function is assigned to more than one
 * timer.
 *
 * @param pxCallbackFunction The function to call when the timer expires.
 * Callback functions must have the prototype defined by TimerCallbackFunction_t,
 * which is	"void vCallbackFunction( TimerHandle_t xTimer );".
 *
 * @return If the timer is successfully created then a handle to the newly
 * created timer is returned.  If the timer cannot be created (because either
 * there is insufficient FreeRTOS heap remaining to allocate the timer
 * structures, or the timer period was set to 0) then NULL is returned.
 *

 * @verbatim
 * #define NUM_TIMERS 5

 * int32_t lExpireCounters[ NUM_TIMERS ] = { 0 };

 * // associated timer expires, and stop the timer once the timer has expired
 * // 10 times.

/**
 * BaseType_t xTimerReset( TimerHandle_t xTimer, TickType_t xTicksToWait );
 *
 * Timer functionality is provided by a timer service/daemon task.  Many of the
 * public FreeRTOS timer API functions send commands to the timer service task
 * through a queue called the timer command queue.  The timer command queue is
 * private to the kernel itself and is not directly accessible to application
 * code.  The length of the timer command queue is set by the
 * configTIMER_QUEUE_LENGTH configuration constant.
 *
 * xTimerReset() re-starts a timer that was previously created using the
 * xTimerCreate() API function.  If the timer had already been started and was
 * already in the active state, then xTimerReset() will cause the timer to
 * re-evaluate its expiry time so that it is relative to when xTimerReset() was
 * called.  If the timer was in the dormant state then xTimerReset() has
 * equivalent functionality to the xTimerStart() API function.
 *
 * Resetting a timer ensures the timer is in the active state.  If the timer
 * is not stopped, deleted, or reset in the mean time, the callback function
 * associated with the timer will get called 'n' ticks after xTimerReset() was
 * called, where 'n' is the timers defined period.
 *
 * It is valid to call xTimerReset() before the scheduler has been started, but
 * when this is done the timer will not actually start until the scheduler is
 * started, and the timers expiry time will be relative to when the scheduler is
 * started, not relative to when xTimerReset() was called.
 *
 * The configUSE_TIMERS configuration constant must be set to 1 for xTimerReset()
 * to be available.
 *
 * @param xTimer The handle of the timer being reset/started/restarted.
 *
 * @param xTicksToWait Specifies the time, in ticks, that the calling task should
 * be held in the Blocked state to wait for the reset command to be successfully
 * sent to the timer command queue, should the queue already be full when
 * xTimerReset() was called.  xTicksToWait is ignored if xTimerReset() is called
 * before the scheduler is started.
 *
 * @return pdFAIL will be returned if the reset command could not be sent to
 * the timer command queue even after xTicksToWait ticks had passed.  pdPASS will
 * be returned if the command was successfully sent to the timer command queue.
 * When the command is actually processed will depend on the priority of the
 * timer service/daemon task relative to other tasks in the system, although the
 * timers expiry time is relative to when xTimerStart() is actually called.  The
 * timer service/daemon task priority is set by the configTIMER_TASK_PRIORITY
 * configuration constant.

 *
 *
 * Used from application interrupt service routines to defer the execution of a
 * function to the RTOS daemon task (the timer service task, hence this function
 * is implemented in timers.c and is prefixed with 'Timer').
 *
 * Ideally an interrupt service routine (ISR) is kept as short as possible, but
 * sometimes an ISR either has a lot of processing to do, or needs to perform
 * processing that is not deterministic.  In these cases
 * xTimerPendFunctionCallFromISR() can be used to defer processing of a function
 * to the RTOS daemon task.
 *
 * A mechanism is provided that allows the interrupt to return directly to the
 * task that will subsequently execute the pended callback function.  This
 * allows the callback function to execute contiguously in time with the
 * interrupt - just as if the callback had executed in the interrupt itself.
 *
 * @param xFunctionToPend The function to execute from the timer service/
 * daemon task.  The function must conform to the PendedFunction_t
 * prototype.
 *
 * @param pvParameter1 The value of the callback function's first parameter.
 * The parameter has a void * type to allow it to be used to pass any type.
 * For example, unsigned longs can be cast to a void *, or the void * can be
 * used to point to a structure.
 *
 * @param ulParameter2 The value of the callback function's second parameter.
 *
 * @param pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken As mentioned above, calling this function
 * will result in a message being sent to the timer daemon task.  If the
 * priority of the timer daemon task (which is set using
 * configTIMER_TASK_PRIORITY in FreeRTOSConfig.h) is higher than the priority of
 * the currently running task (the task the interrupt interrupted) then
 * *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken will be set to pdTRUE within
 * xTimerPendFunctionCallFromISR(), indicating that a context switch should be
 * requested before the interrupt exits.  For that reason
 * *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken must be initialised to pdFALSE.  See the
 * example code below.
 *
 * @return pdPASS is returned if the message was successfully sent to the
 * timer daemon task, otherwise pdFALSE is returned.

 *		// The interface that requires servicing is passed in the second

  * with 'Timer').
  *
  * @param xFunctionToPend The function to execute from the timer service/
  * daemon task.  The function must conform to the PendedFunction_t
  * prototype.
  *
  * @param pvParameter1 The value of the callback function's first parameter.
  * The parameter has a void * type to allow it to be used to pass any type.
  * For example, unsigned longs can be cast to a void *, or the void * can be
  * used to point to a structure.
  *
  * @param ulParameter2 The value of the callback function's second parameter.
  *
  * @param xTicksToWait Calling this function will result in a message being
  * sent to the timer daemon task on a queue.  xTicksToWait is the amount of
  * time the calling task should remain in the Blocked state (so not using any
  * processing time) for space to become available on the timer queue if the
  * queue is found to be full.
  *
  * @return pdPASS is returned if the message was successfully sent to the
  * timer daemon task, otherwise pdFALSE is returned.
