I don't know whether it's my code, or a possible bug in rtems, but one
thread always gets killed in middle of my program. Hence, I create a
dummy "victim thread" named "RND0" so that it doesn't kill my main
thread.

>From my point of view, the following "RND0" thread, should not encounter
any problems, regardless of what goes on in other threads. I'm not even
producing any other thread with the same name and it still dies !

For the moment, this approach of having a dummy "victim thread" is
working for me, so i'm not keen on fixing it, but after my project is
finished, I'll look into this :)


rtems_task
totest_task(rtems_task_argument args)
{
   while (1)
   {
           printk ("still awake");
           rtems_task_wake_after(TICKS_PER_SECOND * 10);
   }

}

void testfirst()
{

   rtems_status_code status;
   rtems_id   Task_id;
  status = rtems_task_create(
                  rtems_build_name( 'R', 'N', 'D', '0'),
                  2, RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE * 2, RTEMS_DEFAULT_MODES,
                  RTEMS_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES, &Task_id);
  printf("were gonna startthe task %i !!!!",(int)status);
  getchar();
  status = rtems_task_start( Task_id,
totest_task,(rtems_task_argument)0);
  printf("we just did %i !!!!",(int)status);
  getchar();

}

rtems_task Init(
  rtems_task_argument ignored
)
{
  printk( "Hello World\n" );

  getchar();
  testfirst();

  getchar();
  sci_init(0);
  getchar();

  exit( 0 );
