Thanks a lot...

Then I can try the option "CYGOPT_IO_SERIAL_SUPPORT_NONBLOCKING" (and hope
there rise no other problems)...

If I use the "CYG_TRACE0(bool, msg)" function family, then I have to use
"CYG_TRACE_PRINT()" if I want control over the timing, because
"CYG_TRACE_PRINT()" blocks until the hole trace-buffer ist written to
diag_write(). Right?
