[ECOS] Re: Waiting I/O operation

[cetoni GmbH - Uwe Kindler]

Hello Alexey,

In my opinion you should go with the second thread solution. If you use 
callbacks, then this callback will be called from the CAN I/O driver in 
DSR context. If your thread waits for multiple events then you need to 
use flags to signal the received CAN event.

I don't know if it is allowed to use flags from within DSRs but I 
believe you can not use them and then also a callback solution would not 
solve your problem. Your callback would need to wakup a "service thread" 
that would signal the flag to the waiting thread - but then you would 
also need two threads.

Or what would you do in this callback to wake up the thead - maybe I 
missed something?

Regards, Uwe
