_delay_loop_2 has a coarser granularity (4 ticks vs. 3 for _delay_loop_1). Basically, both these functions were introduced as "convenience wrappers" for _delay_loop_1 and _delay_loop_2, respectively, to make it easier for people to calculate the delay timing. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
