CCS/CC2640R2F: Could not see my task running in Runtime Object View (ROV)

Roshini,

The task you made, I'm assuming is a TI-RTOS task create call or are you using POSIX? I've heard sometimes there can be issues for ROV to pick up dynamically created tasks at times. Can you tell me what version of XDC tools you have?

Also, I've seen this manifest as a memory corruption issue potentially. When you create your dynamic tasks, is the mem coming from your system heap? Is it large enough?

Is it possible to construct your tasks? Maybe just for debugging? Try to statically allocate all your task memory and see if ROV behaves better. Do something like this.

/* task memory */
#define WORK_TSKSTKSIZE 0x800

UInt8 workTskStack[WORK_TSKSTKSIZE];    /* task stack */
Task_Struct workTskStruct;              /* task object */

/* construct the work task */
Task_Params_init(&taskParams);
taskParams.stackSize = WORK_TSKSTKSIZE;
taskParams.stack = &workTskStack;
Task_construct(&workTskStruct, Monitor_task, &taskParams, NULL);

Hi Evan,

The task I have created is a TI RTOS task and it is a static task. The XDC tools version I have installed is xdctools_3_50_03_33_core. 

The task I have created is:

#define TASK_STACK_SIZE 0x800

#define TASK_PRIORITY 1

static uint8_t sbcTaskStack[TASK_STACK_SIZE];

static void taskFunction(UArg arg0, UArg arg1);

static Task_Struct task0;

void led_createTask(void)
{
Task_Params taskParams;

Task_Params_init(&taskParams);
taskParams.stack = sbcTaskStack;
taskParams.stackSize = TASK_STACK_SIZE;
taskParams.priority = TASK_PRIORITY;

Task_construct(&task0, taskFunction, &taskParams, NULL);
}

Also the same task without conditional compilation and predefined symbols works fine and seen running on ROV. Is there an issue with predefined symbols and conditional compilation? Is it ok if I dont see the task running on ROV but still get output(i.e LEDs blinking)?
