Re: [ECOS] eCOS scheduler on MPC8240

Hi

Initially I had tried with the different priorities and
cyg_thread_delay(). This didnot work for me. 

I think I have not configured the value of
"CYGHWR_HAL_POWERPC_BOARD_SPEED" properly... 
My board is 66MHz and I'm just having "33.330" (I have taken the
powerPC cogent code as my base) for this constant on the platform CDL
for my 
platform. Hope correcting this will solve my problem as   the constant
"CYGNUM_HAL_RTC_PERIOD" has dependency on
"CYGHWR_HAL_POWERPC_BOARD_SPEED".

Regards,
