Hello,
I use the sleep function and it seems that it blocks the other threads while sleeping. Has someone got the same problem? I use sleep in the main thread with RPL_UDP example.
Regards,
Hi,
there is no such function in RIOT.
You are probably want to use hwtimer_wait().
I assume you are using native, so you are calling your Linux sleep function, which will indeed stop the whole RIOT process in your Linux system.

there is no such function in RIOT.
sleep() from POSIX is a wrapper around vtimer_sleep(). Usually, this will let only the calling thread sleep (technically, it's MUTEX_BLOCKED). If this is not the case, it looks like a bug with vtimer or hwtimer on the particular platform. Can you test tests/vtimer_* and tests/hwtimer_* to verify that timers on your platform (SAMR21, I assume?) are working.

-> This seems to have a problem or is that normal?
vtimer_msg:

I will try the other ones later.
