CCS/66AK2H12: How to view instance name in ROV

Mike Dannhardt
Expert 2580 points
Part Number: 66AK2H12

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Using CCS 7.2 and ROV Classic (because I can't get ROV 2 to connect)

I've assigned a name to my Q:

Queue_Params p;
Queue_Params_init(&p);
p.instance->name = name; // name is a const char * that points to a persistent char string. 
hQ = Queue_create(&p, NULL);

In ROV Classic I'm looking at my Queues. I was hoping the name I assigned in the parameter instant would help me ID which one is which in my application (same for my tasks) but I can't locate the name in ROV. Is it possible or is the name just available w/in the application itself?

    Mike,
    which version of XDCtools are you using? There was a bug related to instance name that was fixed in 3.50.
    Also, check your configuration ofr either
    Queue.common$.namedInstance = true;
    or
    Default.common$.nameInstance = true;
    One of these should be set for instance names to show up in ROV.

    Hi Sasha. Sorry for the long delay in responding to your assistance.
    I tried adding Queue.common$.namedInstance = true;
    No luck there. So I added:
    Defaults.common$.namedInstance = true;
    as well and still I do not see an instance name under ROV Classic. I'm assuming the name would show up next to the handle?

    Mike,
    I have just found out that Queue names are disabled in SYS/BIOS. There is a code that reverts Queue.common$.namedInstance to 'false' after the config script finished. It was probably done to save space for the name pointer but I'll have to ask someone in the SYS/BIOS team if there is a different explanation.
