Why you want to play with such old code. Get latest version which has many
bugs fixed.

Why do you need this? Do you want to do this for getting out of deadlock? If
yes, you better avoid deadlock using semaphores or mutexes.

A common approach for dealing with such situations is using a (HW)
watchdog. After starting it the application threads have to trigger
it periodically otherwise a HW reset will be performed.

The F35-XXL is equipped with a HW watchdog. The provided software
kit contains example code for using it. See also:

Hi there,
We are a newbie with eCos and are also using a Falcom F35. We
are trying to make the F35 work with the latest eCos version but 
that doesn't go very simple.
Does anyone allready have the latest eCos version running on a 
F35?

Regards,

Ronald Tubben
