For debugging of the task, we should use RTA or STM?

Please, introduce some references.

Can you please elaborate on your use case so we can provide appropriate guidance. Are you referring to tasks in TI RTOS or are you using some other OS. TI RTOS provided support for System analyzer/UIA tools for real time analysis.

By referring to RTA and STM are you referring to emulator based debug with trace capabilities ?

I will provide further guidance based on your input on the usecase

My Tools:

CCS: V7

MCSDK: 2.1.2.6

I use TI RTOS(SYS/BIOS), I declared some threads in my program and I want to see the time and sequence of running them.

By referring to RTA and STM are you referring to emulator based debug with trace capabilities? Yes, my emulator is Black Hawk STM V2 POE.

Yes, System Analyzer/UIA tools can be used on all devices that support TI RTOS For Task visualization, you don`t need emulator with trace support, System analyzer should suffice.

I have provided some tips on how to enable this support in TI RTOS configuration script:

Hope this helps.
