Re: [ECOS] cyg_thread_resume

[Paleologos Spanos <paleolog at ee dot ucla dot edu>]

 As I mentioned the cyg_thread_kill and cyg_thread_resume are called by
the scheduler and not by a thread.
 Actually I want my scheduler  to stop a desired thread and restart it
from the beginning(resume it at a desired point in time and start
execution from the starting point of the thread's code.)


                           Thank you.
