RTA Agent

Ed Hildebrandt
Expert 1035 points

I'm running an eZDSP F28335. with CCS V5.1 and Sys/Bios.  I' trying to use the RTA agent to get the Exec Graph and the raw logs.  I have the Agent added to the project but I'm not getting any data passed to either the Exec Graph or the Raw Logs.  One thing I noticed that is a bit off is that the Agent Component shows up in Red as opposed to the normal blue (See Screen capture below)

Why is agent in Red?

When I look at the Exec Graph only the Bios Scheduler and Unknow show up under the current thread.

What am I missing?

    Ed,

    The red dot next to those modules just means that they don't have any run time APIs ... you shouldn't need to worry about that.

    Can you check to see that all of the Agent properties are enabled?  It should look something like this screen shot, which is taken from the BIOS example "stairstep":

    You can also try running the stairstep example and see if that works for you.  If so, you can compare the settings with that example and your app to see what's missing.

    Steven,

    I managed to get half of this working, namely the Raw Logs, but still no Exec Graph.  I do have most of the option selected as you indicted but I had to turn off all the Sys/Bios Load Logging options.  If I have these enabled my program will not run.  I get no compile errors but when I load the program, the debugger shower the program as running with me hitting the RESUME button but the program is not really running.

    Hi Ed,

    Did you try running the 28x stairstep example?

    I just ran it on a 28335 board and I am getting Execution graph updates.  Can you give that a try on your side and see if you get updates with that example?

    Steven,

    I have the same problem. I can run the C28x stairstep example on a F28335 successfully, the thread graph and all the other rta-graph windows are showing results.

    However, when I try to add the rta.Agent to my own project, the rta-windows do not work at all. I am quite sure that I have set all options of my cfg-file identical to the stairstep cfg-file.

    At the beginning I started with an idle.cfg  template and added some ePWM functionality, based on HWI and SWI to the project. This project itself works as expected, it is just the rta - agent, which does not work.  I have noticed that in the thread graph window of the stairstep example the available threads are named and shown as buttons in the 2nd row of this window. Not so in my example; This row is empty in my project! Do you have any idea, why I do not see these threads ( I have 1 HWI and 1 SWI )?

    Regards

    I think I figured out the problem.  I had a custom Sys/Bios runtime selected and the Logs we not enabled.  I changed this to Instrumneted and Exec graph now works.  I first tried to just turn on the Enable Logs and I got some informatiojn in the graph but not all.
