CC1310 Graphics LCD update from Clock Swi Context

Hi,

I have a clock source setup with ticks every 1ms. To this I have attached a function that gets called every 1000 ticks (1 second). In this function, I am trying to update the information displayed on my graphics lcd.


The function is being executed (confirmed by toggling a led from within this function), but nothing is being updated on the graphics lcd. I am able to see the text that i print on the lcd in my main task, but anything that I try to update from within the clock function does not get reflected on the lcd.


Would appreciate any help

here is my code
