Hi Jon;

Sure, I'll dig out an appropriate one and post it.

The main issue (I have) with SX/B is when it sits and waits for a time-out. Such as the pause function when receiving or sending serial data. Instead, if such pauses would simply return to the scheduler which then would dispatch the next task, you would then have a simple co-operative RTOS. That then wil permit numerous tasks to operate "simultaneously".

I have done quite a bit more work on that front (eventhough there appeared to be minimal interest from the forum) to push this forward. Hopefully soon I can be ready to properly approach Terry (and others as appropriate) to investigate the changes required to SX/B for implementation of this concept. And hopefully we can get this implemented.

I really think it not that onerous, and would have a tremendous benefit.

More later.

Cheers,

Peter (pjv)
