[ECOS] Posix with Bitmap scheduling

[ECOS] Posix with Bitmap scheduling

[Mervin J]

Hi,
    I am working on ecos for arm7. Since my application is simple, I 
plan to use Bitmap scheduling. While adding Posix support i was not able 
to build the source. Whether posix and Bitmap scheduling is not possible?

The POSIX standard requires certain functionality of the
scheduler. This can only be supplied by the MLQ scheduler.

The memory overhead of the MLQ scheduler over the bitmap scheduler is
fairly small, particularly if you have already accepted the code and
data impact of using POSIX.
