[ECOS] FW: [ECOS] Serial device driver problem.

[ECOS] FW: [ECOS] Serial device driver problem.

[Dennis Ehlin (ECS)]

I have a printout in the DSR routine, which prints a sign for every call to the DSR
and it seems like I only get the sign when a char is sent to the UART.
So I think that that part is working ok.

If I didn't clear the interrupt i would get lots of signs...

Is your scheduling interrupt working... and are your task priorities
correct.. I've had trouble where I had a task running in a tight loop at
higher priority than the one reading from the serial .. needless to say it
didn't work...

Are you initialising everthing correctly?just wondering is the condition
variable correctly initied..
