CCS/AM3359: ROV tasks view issue

John Beard

Part Number: AM3359

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

When viewing the tasks in ROV, the basic view works, but the "Detailed" view always times out and remains empty. Is there an XGCONF setting or something that has to be set for that to work?

I have only set stacks sizes, the idle task and named instances in my .cfg file:

Task.enableIdleTask = true;

Task.defaultStackSize = 4096;
Task.idleTaskStackSize = 4096;

Task.common$.namedInstance = true;

I'm using CCS 10. Most things like basic tasks view, semaphores, MMU and so on are working in ROV.

Hi John,

Can you please see if this E2E post is helpful? https://e2e.ti.com/support/legacy_forums/embedded/tirtos/f/355/t/554540

The link in the final comment is broken, but it appears it's available here: http://rtsc.eclipseprojects.io/docs-tip/Runtime_Object_Viewer#Retrieving_constructed_objects

Hi Frank, thanks for the reply.

If reading the full stacks was the culprit that makes sense, as I have pretty big stacks. I don't have any statically constructed objects, so bypassing that sounds good.

Adding a blank <exec_name>.rov.js file, however, causes this error on ROV connect:

Error: Failed to start ROV using 'comm=DSLite:1,wsPort=51788':TypeError: Cannot read property "length" from undefined

The same if the file contains only:

var constructedObjects = [];

What did work was reducing some stacks and increasing the timeout (to 50 seconds). If I could further speed it up by avoiding looking for constructed items, that would be ideal. As it is, my CPU fans are going crazy while ROV is loading the data.

Hi John,

The detailed view searches each task stack to determine the peak. Checking for the constructed ones is fast, so eliminating will not help. The only thing you can do is not open the detailed view, increase the timeout or reduce the size of your stacks (which sounds like might save you some memory also).
