October 6, 2019

In this video, Eric Wilbur and Scott Specker of Embedded Advantage describe the objectives, agenda, and lab goals for Chapter 8 of the Getting Started with TI-RTOS workshop.

Chapter 8 covers these topics and answers these questions:

Intro to RTOS Analyzer and UIA

How do you set up UIA and the RTOS Analyzer?
What are the built-in TI-RTOS Instrumentation Tools?
What are the visualization and instrumentation tools in TI-RTOS?
Log_info() — What does Log_info() do? Is there a small, light-weight, fast version of printf() in TI-RTOS?
Execution Graph — What is the Execution Graph? Can you benchmark timing on the Execution Graph?
Load Analysis — Can you track overall Task loading? CPU Load? Thread Load?

Configuring UIA for your application

What is UIA? Unified Instrumentation Architecture?
What are the main function calls I can use in UIA to instrument my code for TI-RTOS?
How do you add Logging and instrumentation tools to TI-RTOS configuration (.cfg) file?
How much space and time does UIA take in my application?
Where do you set the buffer sizes for data collection for the RTOS Analyzer?
Can I track Hwis? Can I track Tasks? Can I track SWIs?
