Hi Hussen,

I'm going to move this to the BIOS forum. I think they will be able to help.

TSK_stat() cannot be used to get stack usage for each function. It only provides total stack usage. I'll ping the compiler team to see if there are any tools to help with this.

You could use the cg_xml utilities that use the OFD tool from the compiler. These will compute the Worst Case Stack usage for each function.

You should use the cg_xml scripts which are available from the wiki page I listed:

The base OFD utility is in the compiler directory for each ISA. For example, in your CCS4 directory, look for tools/compiler/c2000/bin/ofd2000.exe
