Re: [ECOS] Select break?

[Jay Foster <jay@systech.com>]

Just because eCos does not have a pipe or socketpair feature does not 
mean that you cannot use an additional pair of sockets.  Add another 
socket (UDP on the loopback interface) to listen on in your select() 
call.  Add another socket (UDP) to send messages to it using sendto().  
You can bind the listening socket to the loopback interface with any 
port number (0) and use the getsockname() function to retrieve the 
actual bound socket address.  This address can be used in the sendto() 
calls.
