posix simulator hal_lld changes Topic is solved

[faisal]

If interrupts are too frequent, then the system tick will never happen due to the call to chSchDoReschedule(). Below is a patch to _sim_check_for_interrupts() which will ensure that the systick is always evaluated, and chSchDoReschedule() is called at the end. Originally I had included a call to nanosleep() for a short duration so that the process doesn't run at 100% CPU utilization. However, that is probably best done in CH_CFG_IDLE_LOOP_HOOK() .

Code: Select all

Any appetite to include this change in 18.2.x?

Hi,

I committed it in both trunk and 18.2.x.
