SYS BIOS 6.31 Monitoring Stack usage

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

A lot of the posts relate to earlier BIOS versions so I'll re-ask the question for SYS BIOS 6.31.

In  DSP BIOS 5.41 I can get a display of peak stack usage for ALL stacks (tasks and system) using the ROV tool. However, I can't find this same view when using SYSBIOS 6.31 (everything is different in 6.xx). So where is it?

Thanks,

Calvin

    Ok, after some tedious spelunking I found the task stack info under ROV -> Veiwable Modules -> Task  -> Detailed. I also see the hwi stack info under Task->Module. Is hwi stack equivlent to "system stack" under DSP BIOS? Are there any other secret stacks allocated that are not shown here?

    Calvin -

    The Hwi stack is equivalent to the system stack (Hwi uses the system stack). The only stacks are the system stack and the Task stacks, so there aren't any other "secret stacks". The other place you can find the system stack information in ROV is the Hwi module.

    Thanks,

    Cool! Thanks for the info. That was what I was hoping to hear. :-)

    Eclipse/CCS/BIOS has such a huge learning curve to begin with that it gets frustrating when all that effort is for naught when a new generation comes out. Seaching the current help is often no help as either you get no hits or a 1000 confusing hits (not enough info in the description to know if if its what you are looking for). Since we are competing globally for jobs, engineers need tools that make things easier not harder. A step in that direction would begin with better (and up to date) documentation, more examples and more capable seach engines.

     

    Thanks,
