CPU load graph and execution graph

Hedgehog

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi,

I am trying to use the execution graph and the load graph in one of my project.

For now, the execution graph only refreshes when I break execution. The load graph does'nt display anything at all. Besides, I cannot force a refresh on these(right click refresh). I have a warning that complains about the RTA not being compatible ("Your BIOS version is not compatible with this RTA version. It must be version 5.2.x.x. Your version looks to be: a non BIOS program, or possibly BIOS 490 or earlier). Yet, the examples given with this BIOS release (hostio and stairstep) work perfectly, and give out the same warning.

I can't figure out what is so different from the projects options that could prevent my project from being refreshed during execution.

 

Here's what I have done:

-I am using DSP/BIOS

 

-I have enabled Real Time Analysis in global settings

-I have enabled All trace event classes

-I have allowed the Idle task to have some CPU time (created a dummy task that sleeps most of the time) so as to exchange with the host

-I have set RTDX and HST as they are in the working examples (RTDX mode to JTAG, real-time data exchange set to true, same size of buffer... and locations)

-I have modified the ezdsp28335 TCF to match my target.

-I have stored most of the code to flash using spra958h recommandations

I am using:

BIOS version 5.33.06

CCS v3.3.82.13

CGT v5.2.2

 

Any clues ?

    Hi Hedgehog,

    I've just been having the same warning reported for my project, but only for the Release build and not the Debug build. The problem in my case was that the Strip Symbolic Information flag (-s)  (Project->Build Options->Linker->Advanced) was set.

    Hope that helps!

    Cheers,

    Ben

    The strip symbolic is not checked.

    Thanks for the reply though!

    Any other idea ?

    Just as  a check, to rule out some of the basics, could you make sure that the same version of BIOS is being selected in CCS component manager and used in the build process:

    1) Within CCS Help->About->Component manager, Target Content->C28XX, check that BIOS version 5.33.06 is selected

    2) The BIOS_INSTALL_DIR environment variable set under Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables is set to point to v5.33.06 directory

    3) Under Project->Build Options->DspBiosBuilder tab, make sure that the -Dconfig.importPath points to the directory with the correct version of BIOS, in this case, C:/CCStudio_v3.3/bios_5_33_06/packages

    If an older search path is included in the -Dconfig.importPath option, that could result in some incompatible components being pulled in, and unexpected results.

    Hi Aarti,

     

    I have just checked everything you mentionned and everything is fine, yet it still doesn't work.

    I'm not quite sure what else could cause the error. Usually this message would appear if you are trying to flash a non-BIOS program while having a BIOS RTA control panel open within CCS. But this doesn't appear to be the case here as you are progamming a BIOS program.

    Maybe you could try installing and using a different version of BIOS (such as 5.33.05 or 5.33.04).

    In fact, the error is not much of a concern. I don't care about acknowledging some warning message, although a bit annoying over time ;-).

    What I would really like to do is to get the load graph work, as well as real time update of sts objects just as in the example given with the 5.33.06 release. I manage to get these working even with the same warning about RTA.

    I don't know why I can't make this feature work for my project. I have compared every compiler and linker directive (from the project file) but I can't figure out what's wrong.

    Do you have any idea of another feature I might have forgotten to activate?

    I have the same problem here. Any update/idea to fix it?

    I also have the same question， if somebody get it，please let me know！I use C6747， with BIOS v6.1.11。
