Re: [ECOS] Strange Problem in cyg_thread_delay( )?

[Andrew Lunn <andrew dot lunn at ascom dot ch>]

Hum, your code looks OK. As has already been mentioned on this list, 
what do the other bits in the register do?

Have you tried other values of delay? Does it run for longer? 

Are you a CS student at Liverpool Uni? I've edited your code a bit to
improve the style. I've moved some variables around, and replaced your
big case statemenet with a one liner. Lookup bitwise shift operations
in your C book. I've not checked this still compiles.
