The only real difference is the main_thread.

What mechanisms start the scheduler in the default eCos package? I cant seem
to get interrupts to work without a explicit call to start the scheduler,
but I know when I include the main thread(by calling cyg_thread_create and
cyg_thread_resume) the scheduler starts.

So in an effort to better understand eCos(not to try to run a rtos without a
scheduler) what could indirectly start the scheduler(other than your call to
cyg_scheduler_start)?  It seems to start on its own with thread
initialization on my system.

Thanks,
