Robert, of course, the right way is to define own macro (= CDL rule) in
the plf's stuff. But, that's not possible without a tweaking plf's code.
I thought about a froud hack: to add something like the below in CFLAGS

    -D"HAL_IDLE_THREAD_ACTION(x)={}"

Well, it's ugly, but, if you do not want to mess up 3.0 sources, it would
be a way.

Perhaps, eCos veterans know about another way.


It's just for reference how it was done for lpc2xxx variants:
packages/hal/arm/lpc2xxx/var/current/include/var_arch.h:63

So, I can use

cdl_option CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_LPC2XXX_IDLE_PWRSAVE {
    user_value 0
};

for my target to disable that "odd" mode. Certainly it can be disabled
with `configtool' too.

Sergei, I did it with brutal force: I modified the lines inside var_arch.h
in directory ecos/packages/hal/arm/at91/var/current/include such that the macro HAL_IDLE_THREAD_ACTION(_counter_) is no longer generated. Then I created a new ecos and linked my little project with this new ecos. The results are mixed: a) As before, when switching power on with no JTAG debugger (BDI2000) connected, the program launches and works fine.

b) With the JTAG debugger connected, I am no longer in a position to launch it with the BDI go 0 command (via telnet). No output at all.

c) I can set breakpoints in cyg_user_start and the output of the diag_printf statement in this routine appear - but the output of the diag_printf routines in the thread created and resumed from this reoutine do not appear - although I can catch
   breakpoints in this thread.

Not a very clear situation. Do you have a good idea? Thanks and regards
   Robert
