CCS/66AK2H12: ROV Classic : Task->Detail question

Hello Rafael.

It is in my project that I see the all red at times. I haven't tried an example. I'm attaching several captures taken at various points.

Above: While running - boring as nothing is shown..

After letting the project run, I hit the Suspend button and captured the above. Application is running. All my tasks have been created.

Above I've hit a break point. I guess the above is what I was expecting to see most of the time. A handful of specific things displayed in red indicating change.

Above I single stepped. Now a lot of the info is blank, specifically the blockedOn that was shown before single stepping.

Now I let it run again to the same break point. Below is the next capture I get when I hit the break point again:

The above looks 'not good'. It is this that I am looking for an explanation of.

Yes I still have the issue. I wish I knew what it meant. It doesn't appear to be causing any side effects nor do I detect any problems in operation. I haven't gotten any other hints to feed you, it is all red about 30% of the time. It must mean something and the fact that it is all RED give me the feeling that whatever it means, it can't be good.

Rafael,

Thanks for the additional information. Unfortunitely we've never been able to get the new ROV working although I just tried it again and it seemed to get further along than I remember from the last time I tried it back last early Fall:

In regard to the "Scan for errors", maybe you have found a clue. Where can I find documentation on "Scan for errors" to learn what it does for me? I ran it and it is showing many errors but I do not know what they mean:

All the tasks were displayed in RED when I went to the above tab.

If I suspend and step until I am not getting all tasks in RED , then the Scan gives:

I am using GateMutexPri throughout my code.

What error did I find? Are you saying the varying results when I do a scan for error is the problem it self or the data reported is the error? Is the bug related to the RED display under Tasks? I ask because there seemed to be a distinct correlation between Scan for Errors listing error and all RED in tasks. If Scan for Errors reported none, than tasks were not all in RED. At least for the few iterations I tested.

I will make the change you suggested and give it a try.

I'd reluctant to change XDC tools. Our project is quickly falling behind schedule. We need a new NIMU driver badly. We fought tool sets at the beginning of the project last late summer and it was quite difficult. Often the E2E responses were to use the latest, other times a specific tool, other time 'use the set that came with the EVM CD'. We have a set now that all works and unless there is a really compelling reason to change I think our s/w team would be hard to convince to move.

(sorry for the delay; the forum ate the reply I wrote yesterday)

Mike,

The data reported. The error I mentioned is shown in the message tab of the "Scan for errors" results, and the giveaway is the text "ReferenceError: "throwscanErrors" is not defined". 

This will only repair the problem with this report, but the original problem with your system persists.

At your development stage, I would be reluctant as well. Let's hope the error reporting gives additional insights about the system problem and we move from there. 

Hope this helps,

Rafael

P.S. I accidentally clicked on the 'TI thinks answered' button in my previous reply. I apologize.
