MSP432P401R: TI-RTOS Task's stack memory allocation.

Hi Keshav,

You should be able to use the ROV feature in CCS. The Debugging Applications that use TI-RTOS Technical Overview includes other ways for checking the stack usage.

Runtime Object View (ROV)

How to use Runtime Object View

Hello James,

My query was not to check stack usage. Actually I want to know how the Task's Stack memory is allocated in TI-RTOS based application.

Does it Allocate from the heap?

Hello James,

I have checked the .bss section. It's showing stack of 512 bytes.

In fact I'm using 2 Tasks having below configs-

/* Construct writer/reader Task threads */
    Task_Params_init(&taskParams);
    taskParams.stackSize = 2704;
    taskParams.priority = 2;
    task1ThreadHandle = Task_create((Task_FuncPtr)task1Thread, &taskParams, Error_IGNORE);
    if (task1ThreadHandle == NULL) {
        while (1);
    }

    Task_Params_init(&taskParams);
    taskParams.stackSize = 3272;
    taskParams.priority = 1;
    task2ThreadHandle = Task_create((Task_FuncPtr)task2Thread, &taskParams, Error_IGNORE);
    if (task2ThreadHandle == NULL) {
        while (1);
    }

I don't know why it's showing 512 instead of 2704 and 3272

Hello James,

I have checked TI-RTOS Object creation doc and found the line below-

Dynamically Create: The application can “create” a kernel object. The API will always need a heap to allocate the object. All module creates require an Error_Block.

So, it must be using heap to allocate stack.

Thanks & Regards,
