Stabilize Half-duplex PIO split comms
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
...by disabling USB IRQs during sending as those tend to occur during
the timing critical sending phase. This hack notably reduces the amount
of spurious failed transactions. Also the PIO IRQ now gets the highest
priority over all other IRQs.
