Hi Hans-Christoph,
Anyone have anything on docs on this, or even better, an working example?
what about the flext tutorial example timer1? I'm sure it doesn't exploit all features of flext timers but serve you well as a starting point....
I think it would be better to hook it up on the select system with sys_addpollfn ... but for testing it might be ok to use a timer.
sys_addpollfn is defined in m_imp.h, which I was under the impression was only for internal use. I thought that m_pd.h was everything that was supposed to be used by externals.
Yes and no. To write something like a asynchronous receiver you have two possibilities, either polling (with timer) or hooking up into the sys_addpollfn (which will wake you up when there is data available). You get away with a timer too, its just not optimal in terms of "resource usage", but this concern might be only theoretical .... so, hm, maybe its better to use a timer anyhow ... :)

Do you know of any documentation for sys_addpollfn? My .h skills aren't quite up to snuff to understand it all without a human language description.
