[ECOS] serial output problem:cyg_io_write and printf

[liu hua]

Thank you for your reply.

I try use cyg_io_get_config() befor cyg_io_write() and after 
cyg_io_write(),but the result is same. When I use GDB and set breakpoint in 
the line of cyg_io_write(),the output somtime is normal. So,I guess that I 
can try delay before and after cyg_io_write(). I use the 
cyg_thread_delay():
          ...
          cyg_thread_delay(2);
          cyg_io_write();
          cyg_thread_delay(1);
          ...

and the output message is normal.

If I only use the second cyg_thread_delay,the cyg_io_write() have no output 
message. If I only use the first cyg_thread_delay, the output message is:
           Starting serial example
           Found /dev/tty0. Writing string....
           serial example isI think I wrote the string. Did you see it?
           working correctly!

If I use both cyg_thread_delay,and the first cyg_thread_delay() use delay 
value "1" not "2",the result is :
           Starting serial example
           Found /dev/tty0. Writing string....
           serial example isI think I wrote the string. Did you see it?
           
Where is the problem?
