Thread Awareness for FreeRTOS

pruesch · Mar 8th 2016, 2:36pm

Hi,

could you please provide an implementation example for the Thread Awareness for FreeRTOS?
I don't feel like I have enough understanding of the JS backend to write it myself.

Consider this would be done. Could a access the stack back trace of every thread ?

Regards

Hi,

Please find the script for Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4F attached (rename to*.js).

The scripts require FreeRTOS to be compiled such
that the referenced symbols do not have static qualifier (so the
debugger can access them).
So if the script does not work, have a look at it and make sure the symbols can be accessed.

Yes, the call stack can be accessed when double-clicking on a task.

Regards
Johannes

Can anybody provide a step-by-step instruction how to use these scripts withSegger Jlink gdbserver. I am a Segger beginner but have some experience with OpenOCD and Blackmagic debug probe.

Are there more scripts for other RTOSes?
Any repository for those scripts?
Does such a script already exist for NutOS (ethernut.de/)?

Thanks

You can't use them with gdbserver, they are javascript files for use with Segger Embedded Studio.

Embedded Studio is independent from GDB Server and uses its own scripts for OS awareness.
There will be OS awareness in J-Link GDB Server in the future, too.
Currently you could use OpenOCD with J-Link.

Best regards
Johannes
