RTOS Trace utilities

Posted by Sachin Bhujbal on November 20, 2009
Dear All,
I am using FreeRTOS Trace Facility with STR9.
I used StartTrace & EndTrace function by passing buffer to it. then I passed that buffer to HyperTerminal & captured file in it. Then I copied the HyperTerminal Data to another text file & saved it as "trace.bin".
Then I run "tracecon_little_endian.exe" which given trace.txt. I copied that txt file data to excel which given me below results

and so on.....
but log shows that more than 8 tasks are running but I have only 8 tasks which are running and In time scale it is showing 65568.000000
at most of the places, which I feel its error in reading.
TaskList function gives following output

TaskCANHandler R 4 60 3

TaskKeypadLCD R 4 154 6

TaskEMT R 4 74 5

TaskPulser R 4 74 4

TaskInit R 4 370 0

TaskMemory R 4 74 7

IDLE R 0 152 2

,ðŸå,ðŸå,ðŸå,ðŸ B 4 70 1


If we see last line it is got corrupted. I saw same output of both function for many times.
Please verify whether it is correct or not & please guide me for correct tracing.
Thanks & Regards

RE: RTOS Trace utilities

Are you checking that the buffer is not being overflowed, and that the task stacks are not overflowing? Corruption like you are seeing in the task list is often caused by stack overflow.
