Abatron BDI2000 / Powerpc-rtems.

[Mark Dean]

Joel,

   Jus to let you know that you were right. Everything works fine with the BDI2000 now that I have removed the low-power mode from our idle task.

   cheers,
      Mark.

What does the idle thread do in this configuration?
On some CPU models, it enters low power mode and this
may negatively impact the BDI2000 although it shouldn't.

If this is the case, disable the CPU model or BSP
specific Idle thread and go back to the portable
branch to self version.
