AWRL1432: How to skip xSemaphoreTake when setting break point

Shawn Li(Radar)

Part Number: AWRL1432

Hi team,

I find this function in our motion and presence demo. After reading the code, I believe it's related to UART data transfer. I think it's responsible for transmitting the points to computer by UART. But it we set a break point in 4489 line, the program can't run to next line. Can you help look this?

And when I run the out file of motion demo, the output of UART are as follows:

Is it right? I think the COM16 should output some target parameters.

Regards,

Shawn

Shawn,

There was delay due to US Thanksgiving holiday. The team will be getting to you shortly.

Thanks,

Hey Shawn,

Did you start the sensor of the device and verify that the program is still stalling at xSemaphoreTake? If the device sensor isn't running, then the mmwDemo_TransmitProcessedOutputTask won't give the gPowerSem semaphore. Therefore, the powerManagementTask won't be able to take from the gPowerSem semaphore and will stall until data starts to transmit over UART. This demo doesn't switch between power modes until the device sensor is running and collecting data, hence why the powerManagementTask is structured this way.

Kristien
