Tool/software:
Hi.
I am attempting to use Runtime Object View (ROV) with CCS with M4 code for an AM62x.
I have CCS_20.1.0.00006 and mcu_plus_sdk_am62x_10_01_00_33. I am able to build and run my M4 code.
The code is being loaded via Linux. As a result, I am using "Start Project-less Debug" to initiate debugging. It is the only way I've found to start debugging without CCS wanting to download the binary to the target.
I am loading the symbols using Run -> Load -> Load Symbols and pointing it to my built .out file.
I have an XDS110 debug interface to the AM62x. I am able to connect (BLAZAR_Cortex_M4F_0) and see the M4 registers. I can stop and start the processor using the CCS interface.
What isn't working is ROV. I want to see the status of the FreeRTOS tasks within my binary. When I select View -> Runtime (RTOS) Objects, the ROV tab opens, but it indicates:
Module Name: Not available (only selection available) View Name: Not available (only selection available) and Data Not available
In reading up a bit on ROV, I've seen reference to .rov.xs files. When I build my project using CCS, I don't see any file generated with rov in the name and I don't see anything that suggests an option to generate that.
Is ROV supported with MCU+ SDK and the AM62x?
If so, how do you start it using CCS?
Thanks,
Steve
Hi,
I am able to see the Runtime Objects for AM62x device. Please refer below image.
Have you loaded the example binary before opening the Runtime Objects View?

Hi Tushar.
As I note in my original post, the code is loaded onto the M4 by Linux (not CSS) and I'm using Run -> Load -> Load Symbols on the binary in CCS. Is this what you mean by "loaded the example binary"?
Also, which example are you referring to? I tried the dpl_demo "Hello, World" example for the M4FSS0-0 running FreeRTOS. I have the same issue when using that example.
Regards,
Steve
