Original question:

AM625: Questions for RTOS analyzer in CCS

AM625: M4F subsystem in SoC

Koichiro Tashiro

Part Number: AM625


Tool/software:

Hi,

This is additional questions from my customer based on previous discussion done in the original thread.
----------
Questions
Q1) Could you tell us how AM62x customers utilized the M4F subsystem for user codes in the past? 
(Since debugging tools such as System Analyzer/RTOS Analyzer, which were supported in the past, are no longer supported, we would like to understand the level of experience or results achieved.) 

Q2) Are there any alternative or recommended tools available for debugging FreeRTOS on the M4F subsystem, in place of or instead of System Analyzer/RTOS Analyzer?
----------
Thanks and regards,
Koichiro Tashiro

    The above features are never supported with the AM62x family of devices.

    Can you please tell us what exactly you want to debug using the Analyzer tool?

    Hi Tushar,

    Please see below feedback from the customer.

    If there are tools available that can measure statistics such as the average and maximum processing times of specific sections of tasks on FreeRTOS, I would appreciate it if you could inform us. 
    Additionally, if there are any common debugging features or plugins within Code Composer Studio that you could recommend, I would be grateful. 
    (Our intention is to understand what kind of debugging tools TI offers to effectively utilize the M4F subsystem.)

    There are DPL APIs which can be used to get information about the runtime environment (heap, task, CPU).

    Please refer KERNEL_DPL for more info.

    You can use the CCS IDE for debugging M4F projects. Please refer CCS Launch, Load, Run for details.
