Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi, all.

I'm creating the tasks like this:

    Task_Params_init(&taskParams);
    taskParams.priority = task_priority;
    taskParams.arg0 = (UArg) (param_1);
    taskParams.arg1 = (UArg) (param_2);
    taskParams.stackSize = required_stack;
    taskParams.instance->name = "example_name";

   Task_create ( fnx_to_exec, &taskParams, NULL);

The task is created, running, etc. The problem is all tasks are without their names ("label") in the ROW window:

How to add the names? Is there a specific option in the CFG file?

Hi Sergei,

Did you set the "namedInstance" property to true in your SYS/BIOS .cfg file?

-----------------------snip------------------------------------

var Task = xdc.useModule('ti.sysbios.knl.Task');

...

Task.common$.namedInstance = true; // maybe this will help
Task.common$.namedModule = true;

-----------------------snap------------------------------------

Hi, Joachim.

Currently I have CCS5.1.1 + bios_6_33_02_31 + xdais_7_21_01_07 + xdctools_3_23_01_43.

As far as I can see there's no such options. I saw it in previous versions. And there were no labels also.

Anyway - I've tested my current CCS + SYS/BIOS + CFG file with these lines. Still no labels.

Waiting for response from TI support team.

Probably the simplest thing to do is to enable "named instances" for all modules. This is set in the "Defaults" module settings. See screenshot below:

Hi, Mark.

Thanks for a fast answer. It's not a usual thing on the TI's support : )

Both checkboxes are set to "on" now. The result is the same. Only static objects are with labels.

Why?

The dynamic Task's name needs to be a constant. For example the following does not work.

someFunction {
char arr[60] = "example_name";
...
taskParams.instance->name = arr;

where the following does

someFunction {
...
taskParams.instance->name = "example_name";

If you are supplying a constant string, please attach your .cfg and .c and I'll take a look.

Hi, Todd, hi. all.

1) Start the CCS

2) Create the new workspace

3) Create the example "Task Mutex Example"

4) Be sure that "enable instance names" + "enable module names" are ON

5) Modify the "mutex.c" file with:

    /* Create two tasks that share a resource*/
    Task_Params_init(&taskParams);
    taskParams.priority = 1;
    taskParams.instance->name = "example_name_1";
    tsk1 = Task_create (task1, &taskParams, NULL);
    
    Task_Params_init(&taskParams);
    taskParams.priority = 2;
    taskParams.instance->name = "example_name_2";
    tsk2 = Task_create (task2, &taskParams, NULL);

    BIOS_start();

6) Set-up the breakpoint @ "task1".

7) Run the App.

8) Tools -> ROW

9) No labels.

Why?

This works for me. Are you running CCS on Windows or Linux? If it is Windows, which one (I'm on Windows XP).

Not that it should matter, but what platform is this for?

That's strange.

I've attached the project file including the binary files and other stuff files.

I have: Win7 64 bit; CCS5.1.1; The CCS is installed to the "C:\TexasInstrument" folder, not to the default folder "ti".

bios_5_41_11_38 
bios_6_33_02_31 
ccsv5 
grace_1_10_00_17
ipc_1_24_02_27
uia_1_00_03_25
xdais_7_21_01_07 
xdctools_3_23_01_43


The screen i have is:

Thanks.

We tried it on a couple machines here. It looks like it might be a 64-bit issue since it did not get displayed on both Window 7 64-bit box and Linux 64 bit box (both have CCS 5.1.0). It works on my reliable 32-bit machine:)

I'm going to move this thread to the CCS support forum. They are already starting to look at it.

I've opened a bug for this issue: SDOCM00089746. It will be addressed in a future release. Currently, we don't have a work-around.

Is there a estimation of date for next release?

0 ToddMullanix over 13 years ago in reply to Sergej Sergeyuk

TI__Guru* 96960 points

Sergej,

We'll have to investigate the issue more before we can commit to a date.

There is a work-around, albeit not the best. In ROV's Task window, there is a Raw view. In that, there are Instance States. In each of the instances listed, there is a __name field. This is populated with the pointer to the string name. So you can put that pointer into an expressions window (and cast it to a (char *)) or put it in a memory window. This will show the name. I know, not ideal, but at least there is a way to get it.

Hi Todd

Is this bug still open?

Nevo Hed,
the bug is bugs.eclipse.org/.../show_bug.cgi. It's marked as fixed in XDCtools 3.25. Are you seeing the same problem somewhere?

0 Nevo Hed over 10 years ago in reply to Sasha Slijepcevic

Prodigy 250 points

I am not sure if I am seeing the bug or that I just cant find where to enable instance names

(am passing ptr to const string)

Earlier in the thread there are references to a config parameter that you need to set, for example
Task.common$.namedInstance = true;
I tested an example with only Task instances, so that was enough to make the names show up in ROV. You can also use
Defaults.common$.namedInstance = true;
to enable names for instances of all modules.
