Well, you might block just this particular interrupt while messing around
in the DSR using cyg_drv_interrupt_mask(vector) and enable it after the
critical section using the correspoding unmask-routine. This would still
allow other interrupts to come through.
When a "normal" task accesses critical data that are also accessed by a
DSR use cyg_drv_dsr_lock() etc.....
Happy with this? Regards
Robert
