Hi every body, I am in a bit trouble of finding out the processing time taken by main_tcpnet() function. As it is written in documents that this function must be called periodically but does not specify at how much rate i.e milliseconds. Secondaly since i have other work to do also during interrupt (timer) i wonder how to fix main_tcpnet() function in the same interrupt as doing this causes my hardware to reset. Plz help me Thanx in advance
aren't there better ways to achieve what you are trying to do? for example, polling a free running hardware timer in your main() 'while' loop and calling 'main_tcpnet()' regularly? or having the hardware timer interrupt the core, set a flag in the timer ISR and polling that one in 'main'? What you are doing is wrong, and probably the cause for your misery.
Quite a number of embedded stacks are intended to be used either in a RTOS thread, or as one of many actions to perform in a while (1) loop.
Hi Michal
What u r saying is the same thing i m doing. Please try to understand following scenario
1) you have set a timer interrupt of say x milli sec 2) after x milli sec you have set a flag in ISR 3) in while(1) u are doing other stuff and say after y milli seconds you poll the flag and called main_tcpnet().
in the above situation first of all ur call to main_tcpnet is not periodic and if y > x main_tcpnet will not work or becomes vey slow.
