A problem with TAD and stack size

[mikesandlin]

I am using KDS 3.0.0, KSDK 1.2.0 and OpenOCD connected to a FRDM-K64 board. TAD works with the hello_frdmk64f demo. While working through some of the lab exercises from this site to familiarize myself with the system and MQX, I found that TAD would not return data when the program was paused. I eventually traced the problem to the stack size declaration in the task setup. With a declared stack size of 900 or less for each task, it works, with a stack size of 1000 or greater, it doesn't. Is there something I have missed in the setup?

i have kind of the same issue with my twr-k60f120m board but TAD stops working after 5000 stack in total.

the error from the log

(08:45:33.384) NullPointerException: com.freescale.mqx.gdb.tad.model.tasklist.TaskFactory.getData() at 71.line "readMemoryBlock32bit()"

I am running into the same kind of thing with KDS 3.0.0 and KSDK 1.3.0. I'm running on a twrk60d100m and the magic stack size that causes TAD to not display anything is somewhere between 2400 and 2500. In my case I created a standalone project based around the mqx hello example. If I change the stack size of the "world" task to 2500, TAD stops displaying anything as soon as the world task is created. If I change it to 2400, it displays everything fine.

Hello Mike,

Unfortunately I cannot to reproduce your issue, I tested using the hello_frdmk46f, I increased the stack size to 1500 and it works.

Could you let me know how did you create your project?

Could you please add screenshots?

Regards

Soledad

Hello Soledad,

This was my first successful(?) attempt to create a project for MQX. I simply imported, then copied the hello_frdm64f project, then replaced the linked folders and corrected the include paths. I have attached the project source. When I run with a stack size of 700 and hit pause, then select Task List from the drop down list under MQX on the toolbar, I get the task list. With a stack size of 1500, I get a blank. I am new to MQX and the KDS, so it is quite likely I made some silly mistake, but I can't find it.

Thank you,

Mike Sandlin

Hi @Mike_Sandlin, how are you getting along with this?  Did you figure it out?  I can load this up on my FRDM-K64F if having another sample point helps.  You can then send your issue to support and they'll look at it if no one here can figure it out.
