Its not showing up in the Tools -> ROV bios list. I can see MBX, SEM, etc.But no MSGQ

Where can I view MSGQ info?

(I can view it on CCSv3.3)

Cheers

Eddie, I noticed that this is still unanswered. Did you ever resolve this issue, or is it still outstanding?

If so, which version of BIOS and CCS are you using?

And for which chip/platform?

Hi Dave

It has not been answered.

Can you see the title of the thread? I usually put it there but perhaps you guys can't view it.

I am using CCSv4.1.1, BIOS 5.41, C6474, code gen 6.1.9,

I have two XDC version but I can't tell you which one I'm using because I haven't figured how to check this on CCSv4.

XDC Tools 3.16.2.32 and 3.16.3.36 (how do you tell which is used?).

Thanks

Eddie

The MSGQ view isn't supported in BIOS 5 ROV in CCS 4.

BIOS 5 ROV is a re-implementation of KOV from CCS 3, and not all of KOV's features were re-implemented.

Thanks,

Chris

Will I see MSGQ if I go to CCSv4 BIOS 6?

Also looking for the call stack view. Is this available in CCSv4 BIOS 5 or BIOS 6.

Cheers

Yes, there is an ROV view for the BIOS 6 MessageQ implementation.

For call stacks, CCS 4 shows you the call stack in the debug manager window. This is a fundamental CCS feature that's not specific to BIOS 5 or 6.

I'm not very familiar with the call stack view in CCS 3, so I don't know how it compares, but the one in CCS 4 is pretty slick. You can double click on the functions in the stack and it will take you to the source.

ROV or the call stack?

In CCS 4, ROV is under tools->ROV.

In CCS 4, the call stack is shown in the main debug manager window, where it shows you the currently connected device and the device's state (suspended, etc.). By default it's the top left window. It should show you where execution is currently halted, and each line below that represents the call stack.
