[ECOS] re: Interrupt vectors for FIQ

Hi Gary,

Thanks again for your reply, as you recommended , I modified the 
<cyg/hal/hal_platform_ints.h> file as  following:

and I will use the following function to create the FIQ interrupt

cyg_interrupt_create( CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_FIQ, 0,0,&FIQ_0_Handler,
                      NULL,&FIQ_0_ISR, &intr); /* no DSR  here */

Does it sound correctly to you? If it does, I will have a try and
let you know the result. Thanks a lot.

Shaojie
