IWR6843ISK: How to access the tasks in the mss_main.c file

Part Number: IWR6843ISK


I am working with the area scanner lab source code and I am trying to understand the following things

1) how in the main function in the mss_main.c file, the tasks are created and which tasks are to be executed once the BIOS starts. For each lab there must be a different set of tasks and I want to understand where all this logic is defined in the code.

2) When I try to click on the functions such as SOC_init() in the main file it does not take me to the source code as I believe they are linked to the .lib file of the sdk. Is there any way to link the sdk source code with the project source code to have a better understanding of the code.

  • Hello,

    For most of the labs, the main function starts the initialization task, which then starts subsequent tasks.  The tasks should be listed there. Also, at the top of the main file there is a list of task priorities, which you can use to understand how the tasks work.  If you pause the code when it has initialized and open the Runtime Object View, you can get a list of all the active tasks. 

    For library files, you can either go find the files in the SDK download to view, drag/drop the files into the CCS project (but this will build the files instead of pull from the lib), or use a code editor like VS Code to view toolbox labs and SDK code in the same program.
