[En-Nut-Discussion] Preview Fix 060626

[Michael Jones]

Hello,

I've had a good look into these new files and that what I see looks good! I
like the way the NutTimerProcessElapsed(...) is shrunk and all...

But, it does not work for me. The Ethernet "path" (don't know where yet)
dies so fast that I can't even upload new firmware before it happens. :-(

But there is a distinctive difference that I can observe using
NutDumpTimerList(...) which is called every 5 seconds from the main thread:

You may note that there is one NutEventTimeout less in the Timer list...

Any Ideas?

Cu,
Michael

My version of a fix
ethernut-fix060626.zip
is available at
http://www.ethernut.de/arc/

It contains a number of files to be replaced by 4.1.5 or
later or CVS HEAD.

It should solve the disappearing thread issue, the timers-
eating-all-memory issue and it should further reduce critical
sections.

Please try this with one or two applications and let me know
any problems.

Harald
