Sending > packages from a poller should work. When long running functions like cb_erase and cb_flash are executed in a poller, we can't currently use another poller to check if it is time to send a keep alive message. If we add a slice to poller_struct that is checked and then acquired in poller_call, it would be possible. But as I wrote, we might then want to limit the number of pollers executed "in parallel" because of the limited stack space. Having a slice in poller_struct also allows pollers to list the resources necessary to run them. Best regards Daniel -- Dipl.-Math.
