about APIs to find time spent in idle tasks - C66x

hi TOM,

I could see some APIs Load_getCPULOAD() , Load_getTaskLoad() etc.  but they are returning zero CPU n task loads in my small test program. Here is the code snippet:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <xdc/std.h>

#include <xdc/runtime/System.h>
#include <ti/sysbios/knl/Semaphore.h>
#include <ti/sysbios/knl/Task.h>
#include <ti/sysbios/utils/Load.h>
#include <ti/sysbios/BIOS.h>

#include <xdc/cfg/global.h>
int k=0, l=0;

void main(void) {
printf("Hello World!\n");

BIOS_start();
}

void task0_func(void) {
Uint32 i, cpuload;

long int k;

stat1.threadTime = 5;
stat1.totalTime = 5;
while (1){
for (i=0; i<50000 ; i++) {
printf("CPU Load = %d \n",cpuload);
k=k+1;
}

Task_sleep(1);
Semaphore_post(semTap);
Semaphore_pend(semTapp, BIOS_WAIT_FOREVER);
}
}

void task1_func(void) {
int i;
while (1){
for (i=0; i<50000 ; i++) {
l = l+1;
printf("Task1!\n");
// Task_sleep(10);
}
Semaphore_post(semTapp);
Semaphore_pend (semTap, BIOS_WAIT_FOREVER);

}
}

how could i schedule my tasks(and what can I make them do) to make this API return some non zero load value?

hi,

I am able to use the APIs successfully now and monitor the CPU load fairly accurately. cheers!!
