Except the trick I mentioned above does _not_ work when called from device driver intialization code. I haven't tracked down which of the two calls fails in that case, but one of them causes a segfault when called from driver init code (but works fine when called from cyg_user_start()). -- Grant -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
