Yes - they don't seem to be switched on by default. I decided that if I'm going to have to implement ring buffers to handle the FIFOs I might as well go the whole hog and try to provide hooks to the 16x5x code. Is this likely to turn into a time consuming operation do you think? One thing I'm concerned about is that IDTs are a bit of at unknown at the moment to me. I kind of assumed eCos got these set up correctly so that I wouldn't have to ?
