TDA4VM: FreeRTOS Real-time Object View (ROV)

Hello,

ran the executable and halted the CPU and connected the debugger. But I am not able to see the freertos section as shown below.

What do you see when you open ROV? Are you able to connect ROV to the debug session?

Thanks

Hi thanks for the reply 
Yes I am able to connect ROV to the debugger by clicking connect option and after that I am able to see only this screen as shown below

1. Another question is I tried running a standard udma memcpy application from the PDK version "/ti-processor-sdk-rtos-j721e-evm-09_00_01_01/pdk_jacinto_09_00_01_04/packages/ti/drv/udma/examples/udma_memcpy_test" by adding a RTOS API named uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark( NULL ); function in FreeRTOS used to determine the amount of remaining stack space that was available to a task.

Here I added this function at the start and ending of the task and I am getting output like as shown below

So Here I am getting these values as 2071 and 1974 , How can I interpret this one since I can see like stack size given for this task creation is 32KB 

Can you explain me this scenario between these values ?

2. Another concern is if the end value that I am getting is 1974 which is 1 word = 2 bytes therefore 1974 words = 1974 * 2 ( 3,948 bytes ) from stack space have been utilized then how can I validate exactly this much byte is used either from ROV or do we have any other options to validate the water mark funciton output?

Madhu

The lack of content in ROV is due to the environment not being properly configured. Please make sure you follow the steps in 9.2.3.

For your other questions, the device experts can help best. I will bring this thread to their attention.

Hi MadhuBala,

Can you confirm you are using SK-TDA4VM? How are you building the applications? ROV capability requires a syscfg_c.rov.xs file which is generated when building RTOS PDK applications.

The RTOS applications such as the UDMA memcpy test will not run on the SK-TDA4VM and will require a J721E EVM.

Thanks,

Hi Neehar

Thanks for the reply

I am building and running the udma memcpy test application on J721e EVM only and the build command used is

"make -j8 -s CORE=c7x_1 BOARD=j721e_evm BUILD_PROFILE=debug udma_memcpy_testapp_freertos" 

I am able to get the syscfg_c.rov.xs file from the file path "ti-processor-sdk-rtos-j721e-evm-09_00_01_01\pdk_jacinto_09_00_01_04\packages\ti\kernel\freertos\rov\syscfg_c.rov.xs" 

Additionally If possible can you please once again give the steps here like how to configure the ROV and connect it to the debugger (XDS110 Debug probe in my case) , and when to load the executable and halt the CPU ?

Thanks,

Madhu
