Re: idle thread not required
The idle thread in eCOS as in most systems puts the processor in a low
energy mode / sleep mode, only to wake up at the next
interrupt.
In theory, you could achieve the same effect in a scheduler without
an idle thread, but that would imply that the scheduler would
have to distinguish between no thread ready (idle) and some thread
ready. The idle thread, always ready, is a smart convenience
allowing to simplify the code of schedulers.
You do not want to get rid of it :-)

Hi,
I am using ecos version 3.0.
I have my own idle thread defined in my application with lowest thread
priority. Please let me know how can I desable the default idle thread
present in eCos package? Is there any default idle thread at all? Also
If assign my application idle thread with priority 0, it does not run.
Any idea why is like that.
Please provide some inputs.
Regards,
Ganesh K R
