The problem is with the system totally locking up after SysTaskDelay
is called inside a trap on OS 3.3, I guess this is because it's a
blocking operation... I think...
Is there any other way to delay for a predetermined amount of time
inside a trap? I can't even use TimGetTicks, because the timer isn't
updated in a trap. For example:
UInt32 timerCount;
Int sillyLoop;
timerCount = TimGetTicks();
for(sillyLoop=0;sillyLoop!=10000;sillyLoop++) { ; }
timerCount = TimGetTicks();
timerCount will be the same value before and after the loop
Is there any way of getting a timer reference value at this point?
Thanks.
