RE: ecos-discuss@ecos.sourceware.org
Hi, for my case is two threads running.
One thread is a menu printed on the hyperterminal and scanf is used to check for user input.
Another thread is to run a simple 7 Seg LED from 0-9 on ARM Board.
So the thread for the 7 Seg LED is stuck at the scanf thread.
How should it be solved? Puzzled...
