[ECOS] How to reset the timeout on a thread waiting for a flag

[Fabrice Gautier <Fabrice_Gautier at sdesigns dot com>]

Hi,

Here is what i want to do:

I have a thread starting an operation and waiting for it to finish. The
operation result in a series of interrupts. The thread waits on a flag, and
the ISR will eventually set the flag when the operation is done, to wake up
the thread. 

I also want a timeout. But not a total timeout value for the total operation
but a timeout based on the interrupt activity. ie if there is no more
interrupt for 1/2sec then i want to timeout.

So is ther any function to reset the thread timer. 

Thanks
