Property Exclusive

Namespace: Belay.Attributes
Assembly: Belay.Attributes.dll

Exclusive

Gets or sets a value indicating whether gets or sets whether this task method requires exclusive access to the device. When true, ensures no other methods execute concurrently on the device.

public bool Exclusive { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

Examples

[Task(Exclusive = true)]
public async Task UpdateFirmwareAsync(byte[] firmwareData)
{
    // Critical operation that must not be interrupted
    await ExecuteAsync(@"
        import machine
        # Disable interrupts during firmware update
        machine.disable_irq()
        try:
            write_firmware_data(data)
            verify_firmware()
        finally:
            machine.enable_irq()
    ");
}

Remarks

Use exclusive access for methods that:

• Modify critical device state
• Require exclusive hardware resource access
• Cannot be safely interrupted by other operations

Exclusive methods may reduce overall system performance by blocking other operations, so use sparingly and only when necessary for correctness.
