trying to get a handle on a problem in a real-time system with system analyzer. but, there are way too many events. I tried increasing the buffer size, we have 128Mb of DDR!!!, but when I enter a value that is too large, anything over 4Mb, then my program locks up during load and does not run to main().
I could turn UIA on and off in code but the documentation is confusing and incomplete. How do I turn analysis on and off globally?
Kurt,
The application can make Log calls also. If you are using ti.uia.sysbios.LoggingSetup, like you are, these events go into the "Main" logger. From looking at your configuration, you have disable the "Main" logger.
Since you are enabling Hwi logging in LoggingSetup "(LoggingSetup.sysbiosHwiLogging = true;"), you get lots of Hwi log events. I expect you are seeing lots of LM_begin and LD_end events.
For your board, the ti.sysbios.family.c64p.Hwi module is brought in by the ti.sysbios.hal.Hwi module. SYS/BIOS supports many families, so instead of putting tons of #ifdef in the hal.Hwi source file, we put family specific implementations into the family directories.
By looking at the CDOC description for LM_begin, you can see that it is controlled by Diags mask USER1or USER2
Since you are using Stopmode in LoggingSetup, you get LoggerStopmode loggers. These loggers do overwrite when full.
Similarly, LM_END is controlled by USER2. So if you turn off Hwi.common$.diags_USER2, you will not get the LM_END events, but still get the LM_BEGIN events. If you do not explicitly set the Hwi diags masks, LoggingSetup will enable both USER1 and USER2. If you turn off either of these, LoggingSetup does not change them. Note: you can configure the ti.sysbios.hal.Hwi's diags masks and it will push those settings down to the family implementation. You can either add the following line in your .cfg file "Hwi.common$.diags_USER2 = Diags.ALWAYS_OFF;", or you can do it graphically as shown:
You are using Stopmode in LoggingSetup, so you are getting LoggerStopmode loggers. These wrap when full. Are you sure you are getting the first N events and not the last N? Are you looking at the events in System Anaylzer or ROV? Note: you do not get additional events in CCS until you stop the target.
