How to display DSP/BIOS threads state in a debugging session with Code Composer Studio



Hello,

I have been chasing a thread deadlock on the DSP core of a DaVinci DM6446 ARM/DSP device.

The following make it extremelly hard to debug and fix these situations. Something that would take a few hours with a Debugging environment such as Visual Studio 2010 is taking multiple days of frustration with Code Composer Studio.

Hurdle:

1) When breaking on the Target, only the main init DSP thread is shown, no mehcanism to enumerate all the threads in the system and show their stack traces at the point the break/pause was issued.

My environment is as follows:

1) Code COmposer Studio v4.2.4.00033

2) DSP/BIOS v5.41.6.21

3) Code Gen Tools: 6.1.20

4) BlackHawk Emulator: USB560 JTAG Emulator v4.2.1.009

Is there a mechanism or project settings to setup a Debugging session such that ALL threads running are displayed in the debugging session and all their stack traces can be shown so it is easier in a deadlock situation to figure out what the state of each thread is ?

Regards,
