Hello Thomas,
Thanks for your prompt reply and suggestion.I am trying your Idea.
My requirement is like this. I am calling some blocking calls. if I create one thread for one blocking call, another blocking call comes with is not adding to the task list when I used tasklet. So I am going to threads now.
If I call threads from interrupt service routine, the arguments are not getting passed correctly to the thread. How to make interrupt service routine small and spaw new thread for each call.
Thanks & Regards
Jhoney
