Using double buffering, I get an interrupt telling me that my ADC scan is done and the data is waiting in region “A”, then 1/200 of a second later I get a different interrupt telling me that data is waiting in region “B”, repeat.

The interrupts continue to fire (as seen on a GPIO bit being twiddled) sending events and the return codes are always RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL.

If you can get this down to a test case with just rtems_event (without
your ADC code too), this might be more readily debuggable.
