 		 #179212 - Software delay loop in C is a no-no
Responding to: ???'s previous message
And have you verified that your C-coded busy loop is actually performing any busy-loop?

The C compiler can throw away your delay since it doesn't do anything. The assember code will perform a delay.

So have you verified that your C program isn't actually running, but at very much higher speed than intended - so fast that you can't see the "blink" without an oscilloscope or logic analyzer?
