Allocating memory while doing a Real-Time task is not the right sort of attitude to this; it's just not sensible. As I said, there's the mbuff driver for shared stuff, but in a single RT task, you should allocate what you want before you use it, and shove all data out through a RT fifo. Your RT task should use the absolute minimum of CPU, memory, etc. Gary (-; -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl <Your_email>" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/
