startstop test case of the NOVA-NUL microhypervisor

[Mehdi AICHOUCH]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to test the NOVA+NUL microhypervisor.
I played with the test application "nul/michal/apps/tests/startstop".

So, I modified this test to try a new a new test case, by modifying the
"hello" program that is
started by the "startstop" program.

I added to the Hello program the following code :

...
TimerHelper * timer;
timer = new TimerHelper(this);

while(1) {
Logging::printf("Hello ... \n", now);
timer->msleep(1000);
}
...

This simple code will print a message and suspend the Hello program for 1
second.

The problem is that when I tested this program alone, it worked perfectly
but when this same program is started by the "startstop" program using
start_config(), it does not suspend
on the msleep(1000).

Is my test correct or allowed by the NOVA-NUL microhypervisor?
If it is the case, could anyone please help to debug this issue.

Many thanks in advance.
Mehdi
