Why an own thread? seems a little complicated. The whole thing can be managed in a state machine way. Don't you think we can do everything with interrupts? We might just need 1 function pointer for each application for initializing (setup uarts, data structure and interrupt handler). this function would program the interrupt handler for each application. The firmware might choose to call the desired init for each remote control app. Of course, it might be useless to have all protocol handlers in memory. _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-03-01 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
