Assigning instance names to static tasks?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hello,

I am building as system that has a mix of static and dynamic tasks. For diagnostics, I want to be able to assign a name to each task so that it can be read using Task_Handle_name().

For dynamic tasks, the Task_Params structure for creation of the task includes an 'instance->name' field.

However, I can not figure out how to assign a name to the static functions and Task_Handle_name() returns the string {Empty instance name}.

Is there a way to assign an instance name to a static task? I would prefer to be able to set it statically in the .cfg file along with the rest of the task's properties.

Thanks

David Kelly

    Hi David,

    You can assign names to static tasks as follows.

    var Task = xdc.useModule('ti.sysbios.knl.Task');
    var taskParams = new Task.Params();

    //set task params as necessary

    var tsk1 = Task.create('&tsk1_func', taskParams);
    tsk1.instance.name = "myTask";
