Delay::measure function

[Xavier LEBARS]

Hello,

Thanks for the answer, we can display Hello World only once. (I resend my message because I forgot to add the L4 mailing list ...)

We still have another questions. What kind of interrupts are you talking about ? Which module should actually throw this interrupt and when ?

Best regards
Xavier

This Delay::measure() function counts the number of calls to
Proc::pause() which can be made until the 1ms system time elapses.

I had the same problem while porting Fiasco on some other platform (i.MX28). The reason why you are stuck in Delay::measure() is that the system time of Fiasco does not advance and thus Delay::measure() does not return. Most probably the driver of your timer device is not running properly, your timer is not configured to generate the periodically 1ms system clock and/or the driver of your interrupt controller does not handle timer interrupts.

For the first testing steps you can probably skip this loop and return some hardcoded arbitrary value to get the Hello World example running.
