[En-Nut-Discussion] Critical Section

[Tim DeBaillie]

I need to make a part of my software a critical section.  Currently I am 
using two interrupts (Timer Counter 1 and Interrupt 0) on the 
AT91SAM7X256-EK.  I have tried to use the AIC_IDCR and AIC_IECR registers 
to disable and enable interrupts.  I have also tried using the 
NutIrqDisable and NutIrqEnable commands.  Both give me a result of 
constant rebooting.

Why doesn't the NutOS have a DisableGlobalInterrupts() function?

Is there a better way to implement this critical section.  Semaphores 
and mutexes are too dangerous.

Tim
