DSP/BIOS Unknown Task

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hello,

I'm trying to run a basic DSP/BIOS program. All my program does, is run BIOS_start.

Other than that, I do define hooks for task create / task end, so that when I do have tasks, they will run.

What I see is, that even before I run BIOS_start, I have a task created. Since I have a Task_Handle, I can see that the task seems to be something called ti_sysbios_knl_Task_Object__table__V.

What is this task? Why does it run? Is there any way for me to identify it, so I'd know not to do anything to disrupt its work?

Thanks.

Arya,

What version of BIOS are you using?

For what chip/platform?

Arya - I'm not sure I follow your issue, but I imagine that Task is just the idle task? The symbol you found is not actually the task's name; that symbol points to the beginning of the table of Task instances.

To look at the list of Tasks in your system, you should try using ROV. In CCS, you can find it under Tools -> ROV. Navigate to ti.sysbios.knl.Task and you should see the list of Tasks with their proper names.
