During Drivers Initialization

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hello Manuel,

driver initialization is done while tasking is still 
disabled. Therefore, you can create and even 
start(?) a task, but it will not be scheduled before 
"Init" is called.

I would except, that the other calls should work 
properly during driver initialization. If you get an 
error there, maybe you can step into the offending 
calls and check the software flow there, if your 
debugging environment supports it. I always found 
this quite instructive...


wkr,
Thomas.
