Stack full or something else?

Eheh i done it :) . The problems were in code generated from the matlab
real-time workshop from a simulation i have with blocks working at different
rates. So now i tried to run the model advisor tool and fixed some code
generation process options that were wrong. For instance, it was generating
code for emulation, which was not needed in the final implementation. And it
was set for single-tasking instead of multitasking. I then attached this OK
generated code to my communications layer, all under RTEMS as i was doing
before but with the bad generated code, and now it works perfectly.
Basically it was a RTW code generation problem.
Sincerely, thank you all.
Best,
JM
