RE: [ECOS] how does the ctrlc happen when the serial port interrupt(ARM). Thanks

Thanks Johathan.

So for example if I include the serial device driver(implement  interrupt
for the UART RX and TX) for that platform, it will overwrite the interrupt
talbe and ctrlc will not be supported. Is that right. (e.g. ARM E7T board,
if ecos app built with serial package(use interrupt) then the ctrlc will not
be supported when debug such ecos app with redboot??)
Thanks a lot

It isn't. If you install the serial driver it overrides the ctrl-c
support, and that's just the way it has to be. If you want to do something
with ctrl-c, you should do it yourself when you read stuff from the serial
port.

The details sometimes vary by platform, but that looks about right.
