FreeRTOS Task Aware Debugger?
FreeRTOS Task Aware Debugger?
I like NXP's Task Aware Debugger extension for Eclipse. See https://mcuoneclipse.com/2017/03/18/bet ... n-eclipse/
It is so useful to quickly see tasks and their stack sizes and usage.
But I wasn't able to get it to work with ESP32. Is there a way to use it with ESP32, or perhaps a similar extension?

It is part of the debug adapter for our Visual Studio Code ESP-IDF extension coming very very soon

Re: FreeRTOS Task Aware Debugger?
How far away are we from seeing this? I really want to stop using Eclipse and switch to VS Code.
Also, if you want a beta tester I'm happy to help.

Mark

Hi ,
i would like to have that too! Any news about it?
Normal debugguing with VSCode works pretty well, but i'm not able to debug any subtask...
Best,
Monkey

Re: FreeRTOS Task Aware Debugger?
Hello,
ST has the same and I like it so I fixed it on eclipse for ESP (Only tested for ESP32-S2 and mostly interested in cpu usage)
VSCode is awesome for developing but its awful for debugging in my opinion...
1. Install FreeRTOS Task Aware Debugger from http://freescale.com/lgfiles/updates/Eclipse/KDS like this guide https://mcuoneclipse.com/2017/03/18/bet ... n-eclipse/
2. tick in sdkconfig: Component Config -> FreeRTOS -> Enable FreeRTOS to collect runtime stats
3. Go to esp_idf_components/freertos/tasks.c
Find: PRIVILEGED_DATA static uint32_t ulTotalRunTime = 0UL;
(It's at line 430 now)
a) You can either add "volatile" in front of it:
b) Disable GCC optimization for this variable:
Future prof notice: If something doesn't work you can open the nxp jar located in \tools\espressif-ide\2.6.0\plugins with "jd gui" and view what variables tries to read. If something is "optimized out" while debugging you have to make it volatile so the plugin can read its value. I don't think that ESP team changed FreeRTOS variable names so it will be just the optimization if something doesn't work.

#pragma GCC pop_options
