Hello Sergei,

I found a differences in our results. It was my inattentiveness :-( . I 
got a olpce2294.epk via a reference in your article, which points to the 
old epk. Then I had gotten the latest one our results had coincided.

static void first_thread(CYG_ADDRESS data)
{
	while(1)
	{
		cyg_thread_delay(100);
		diag_printf("\nWe should see this string\n");
	}
}

As far as I understand, In the latest epk you masked the interrupt to 
prevent unceasing calling. But the error isn't in your code and changes 
in your layer are not necessary. Moreover, this changes leads to other 
issues. As example:

RedBoot> load -m xmodem 

CEntry point: 0x81010040, address range: 0x81010000-0x81017008 

xyzModem - CRC mode, 482(SOH)/0(STX)/0(CAN) packets, 1 retries 

RedBoot> go 

enter cyg_user_start() 

exit cyg_user_start()

Then I use your epk v1.0 with my patch of cyg_hal_plf_serial_isr 
application works as provided.

RedBoot> load -m xmodem 

CEntry point: 0x81010040, address range: 0x81010000-0x81016efc 

xyzModem - CRC mode, 478(SOH)/0(STX)/0(CAN) packets, 2 retries 

RedBoot> go 

enter cyg_user_start() 

exit cyg_user_start()
