FreeRTOS Task Aware Debugger for GDB Shows Nothing

[a5581267]

Hello,

I am using NXP FreeRTOS Task Aware Debugger for GDB for monitoring tasks.

FreeRTOS is  v7.5.3. Task Aware Debugger is v1.0.2 (201704260904).

Besides, I have changed some configurations in FreeRTOSConfig.h  is:

• #define configUSE_IDLE_HOOK 1 (so it should be at least a task idle_task )
• #define configUSE_TRACE_FACILITY 1

There is a task_main in my program.

When I am in debugging mode, I have tried to suspend the program and check running task.

However, it shows nothing in all views (Task list, Queue list, Timer list) like following picture. 

Is there any suggesting for this problem?

Thank you very much.

I think your FreeRTOS version is probably simply too old (the current version is 10.x) and the current Plugin is V1.0.8 in MCUXpresso IDE 10.3.0. Which MCUXpresso IDE are you using?

I suggests you check the gdb Console view in Eclipse, you can check as well Troubleshooting Tips for FreeRTOS Thread Aware Debugging in Eclipse | MCU on Eclipse .

You can check as well Better FreeRTOS Debugging in Eclipse | MCU on Eclipse  which  shows the settings for V9.0.0.

I hope this helps,

Erich

Hello, thank you for you reply.

Now I am using Eclipse Kepler.

It it compatible for this tool ?

[BlackNight]

It has been developed for Kinetis Design Studio (Luna) and MCUXpresso IDE (latest version is Oxygen based).

What is the microcontroller you are using?

Now I am using ARM9.

Hey, I've checked the TAD Log

Maybe you have some idea for that.

Hi Hennry:

I would suggest you try MCUXpresso v10.3.1. From the release note, one similar issue is resolved.
