How to modify and compile function Memory_alloc of RTOS

If you want to add some print for each Memory_alloc and Memory_free then you can modify:

/dvr_rdk/build/dvr_rdk/obj/ti816x-evm/m3vpss/release/dvr_rdk_configuro/package/cfg/MAIN_APP_m3vpss_pem3.c

xdc_runtime_Memory_alloc__E

xdc_runtime_Memory_free__E

for m3vpss. Similar file will be present for m3video and c6xdsp.

This is a generated file. Once you build dvr_rdk it will be present. You can modify and recompile dvr_rdk.

Don't changes any cfg file else this will get overwritten.

There is a better method to check memory usage instead of using prints. Refer /dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_bios6/utils/utils_mem.h

UTILS_MEMLOG usage.

For future reference the issue with adding print in xdc_runtime_Memory_alloc__E is Memory_alloc is called before control goes to main by bootstrap code .Calling printf from this context will cause exception as printf tries to acquire a GateMutex which can be done only from task context. You should protect call to printf within

    if (BIOS_getThreadType() == BIOS_ThreadType_Task)
    {
        /* Printf should be called only from Task context as it does pend.
         * Calling from other context will cause exception
         */
        Vps_rprintf();
    }
