TMDS64EVM: System Analyzer support for AM64x

Part Number: TMDS64EVM


Dear TI Team,

I am trying to run the 'RTOS Analyzer' tool in CCS 12.5 to analyse the R5 core. I have the 'Simple EtherCAT Slave' sample project running on the evaluation board, which boots a FreeRTOS on the R5. I am familiar with the System Analyzer User's Guide (ti.com). As it is from 2014 and some things have changed since then (e.g. .syscfg-file instead of .cfg-file), my question is whether System Analyzer and RTOS Analyzer are compatible with the AM64x and if there is more up-to-date documentation on this.

If not: Are there any alternative ways to do a load analysis of the R5 core running a FreeRTOS?

Thanks and best regards,
Jonas

    I have taken your inputs and working on it. Please allow some time to revert back.

    These features(System Analyzer and RTOS Analyer) are from what was called UIA and DVT, and unfortunately these features are no longer actively supported.

    To get the CPU and Task load for FreeRTOS, please refer to KERNEL_DPL_TASK page.

    The above reference page has the example code to get the Task and CPU load using Task APIs.

    Hello Tushar,

    thanks for your reply, it was helpful to me.

    Just a short note: I ended up using directly the FreeRTOS-function "vTaskGetRunTimeStats()", because not all task creations in "EtherCAT slave demo" are accessible in the source code, so that the handle pointer needed for TaskP_loadGet is not available for the most tasks.

    Regards,
