Newbie's firsttime with uTasker

[echel0n]

Ok Now I've gone as far as to extracting the uTasker source files and service pack files from scratch again into a new folder and not touching a single file.
What I've done is add a new file called test.c with some source code in it, maybe about 10 lines of code.

I've compiled it fine but when debugging I get no breakpoints in ONLY that file.

Any clues ?

[mark]

Hi

Yes, me too.

Did you check that the code was really appearing in the map file? (confirming that it is being linked in correctly)

It it possible that the code is there but somehow the attributes for the new file in the project is to generate it without debug information?

Do you have Rowley support to ask them if they known what is happening?

Regards

Mark

[echel0n]

Yes I can see it in the MAP file and it's being linked in perfectly.

This doesn't make any sense to me why it would do this to me.

Now keep in mind I'm creating test.c and NO test.h so I don't know if that would be the culprit.

[echel0n]

Ok just created test.h and no diffrence. I just don't understand what the reasoning behind this would be.

Hi

I just did the following.

1) using Rowley Crossworks 1.7 Build 16 I opened the standard uTasker V1.3 project for SAM7X
2) I created a new file called test.c in Rowley. I placed it in the Applications\uTaskerV1.3 folder
3) I added this content:

static int iTest = 0;
extern void fnTest(void)
{
    iTest++;
}

4) In application.c task I added two calls to the new routine fntest()
fntest();
fntest();

5) In test.c I put a break point at the line:
   iTest++;

6) I then downloaded to RAM (using Thumb RAM debug) target) after building the project.

7) The break point was hit twice, as expected and the local variable incremented to2, as expected.
The following is the screen shot. It shows the break point and a second blue arrow.

Can you repeat this step by step to see whether it is really different at your end?

Regards

Mark

PS. Note that this was the SAM7x project. I will repeat with the LPC23XX project and the Olimex board

[mark]

Hi

Now I have results from the same test on the LPC2378-STK. This time I worked with the FLASH DEBUG target.

I did get the blue arrows and I could put a break point in the routine. It stopped there correctly and I could step normally.

However, when working from FLASH you have only one HW break point. If you try to set a second, when there is already one somewhere else you will see the question mark. By hovering the mouse over it it will inform that the break point could not be set due to lack of HW break points.

I have attached my Rowley project file (as just tested) as reference.

Regards

Mark

I belieave I've located the problem.

For whatever reason crossworks was reporting there was no issues with the build and made it appear as if things compiled perfectly.
It was clearly misleading me as I extracted a fresh copy of uTasker and created a file called test.c then created a task for it in TaskConfig.h then re-compiled and debugged. All the blue arrows were present.

For whatever reason before it would do this but like I said I heavily modified application.c and stripped out ALOT of code and moved all the serial routines from there to serial.c.

I'm gonna try this again but keep a closer eye on it this time.

Thanks and I'll let you know how my progress makes.

BTW if I have to create serial.h cause I have to move code from application.h into would I include serial.h in config.h ?

[mark]

Hi

If you need only serial.h in the single file you can just add it there.

If you find that you need to share it between several files it is simplest to add it in your config.h - there is already a list of includes in it, so add it to the list.

Note that all files should include config.h so that they all have everything needed for the uTasker resources. Generally this single include is all that is needed.

Good luck

regards

Mark

[echel0n]

Ok the problem is back again but this time I've not modified application.c and only touched TaskConfig.h to add my task in then created a new file and added the following code:

Code: [Select]

#include "config.h"

#define OWN_TASK             TASK_IKS_CLIENT

#define INITIALISATION       0
#define ACTIVE               1

QUEUE_HANDLE SerialPortID;
static unsigned char ucSerialInput[RX_BUFFER_SIZE];                  // static buffer for collecting UART data

static char fnReadIrd(unsigned char * buf)
{
  unsigned char ucInputMessage;                  // reserve space for receiving messages
  int a = 0;

  if (fnRead(SerialPortID, &ucInputMessage, 1) != 0) {
    return -1;
  }

  if (ucInputMessage != 0x21) {
    return -1;
  }
  buf[0] = ucInputMessage;

  while (fnRead(SerialPortID, &ucInputMessage, 1) != 0);
    buf[1] = ucInputMessage;
  while (fnRead(SerialPortID, &ucInputMessage, 1) != 0);
    buf[2] = ucInputMessage;

  for (a = 0; a < buf[2] + 1; ++a)
  {
      while (fnRead(SerialPortID, &ucInputMessage, 1) != 0);
      {
          buf[3 + a] = ucInputMessage;
      }
  }

  return buf[2] + 4;
}

extern void fnIKSClient(TTASKTABLE *ptrTaskTable)
{
  static int iSerialRxLenth = 0;                                       // length of collected UART data
  static int iTaskState = INITIALISATION;

  QUEUE_HANDLE        PortIDInternal = ptrTaskTable->TaskID;           // queue ID for task input
 
  if (INITIALISATION == iTaskState) {                                  // configure interfaces on initialisation
      fnSetNewSerialMode(FOR_I_O);
      iTaskState = ACTIVE;
  }

  // Wait for RX Data from receiver
  while ((iSerialRxLenth = fnReadIrd(ucSerialInput)) == -1);
}

Give it a try and tell me if you get breakpoints or not please ...

[echel0n]

Mark have you tried and got same issue now as I do ?

[mark]

Hi

I just tried it and it looks good here (see screen shot). I can set break points and step - all the blue arrows are there.

I added four lines to TaskConfig.h:

...
#define TASK_IKS_CLIENT         'I'
...
extern void fnIKSClient(TTASKTABLE *ptrTaskTable);
...
TASK_IKS_CLIENT,
...
  { "I",       fnIKSClient,  MEDIUM_QUE,  (DELAY_LIMIT)(0.20 * SEC), 0, UTASKER_STOP},
...

After the 200ms delay the task started.

However (after doing the first test) I changed the code since it causes problems when data is really received. You need to remember that the uTasker OS is state event driven and you can't wait for characters in a task. I have re-written it and tested it in the simulator so that it does (more of less - maybe there is a length slightly off somewhere) that which you want it to do.

These are the changes:
1. In application.c I added #undef SERIAL_INTERFACE to remove all serial port control from there.
2. I moved the serial interface configuration to your file.
3. I added a simple state-even machine to handle the searching for the sync character 0x21. Then it collects the content and informs that it is ready for further handling when its length corresponds to buf[2] length details. In addition I added a length check to reject frames which have a bad format  so that they don't overrun the input buffer.

Mark

Ok I've done exactly as you've instructed and here's the outcome.

#1. Function fnReadIRD has no breakpoints and says no code present.
#2. Function fnIKSClient has no breakpoints and says no code present.
#3. Function fnSetNewSerialMode has breakpoints.

I just don't understand whats happening here.

Any idea's ?

[mark]

Hi

This would be consistent with the task content never being called from anywhere else in the code. The routine fnSetNewSerialMode() is called from debug.c so it is (also) getting linked correctly.

Try calling fnIKSClient() directly from application.c or even from within fnSetNewSerialMode() . Just pass a null-pointer as parameter.

If the task code is then present it means that the linker is recognizing that it is needed (being linked in) and would conform that the linker is otherwise leaving it out. [Note that the code will actually crash when fnIKSClient() is called directly  but at least it will allow the test to be made].

Please post you TaskConfig.h file so that I can check that you are really adding in your task correctly to the task table (this is the only logical explanation for it to be otherwise missing).

Regards

Mark

[echel0n]

Ok calling fnIKSClient(0) from application.c fixes the issue so it must be something with TaskConfig.h

Here's the code contained in TaskConfig.h

Hi

When I use this TaskConfig.h but don't add the test file with fnIKSClient() in it the code doesn't build since the task fnIKSClient() is missing (this is of course what is expected and verifies that the linker is seeing that fnIKSClient() is required).
I so nothing wrong with your configuration.

Before putting this down to Gremlins in the system I have two (possibly) final ideas:


Last but one thought... your TaskConfig.h is fine and works here. Is it possible that you are editing a TaskConfig.h file which is not actually the one used by the project? This would then indeed be a logical explanation as to why the file is not being linked. Make a small change in the file and see whether the project is rebuilt when compiled (a change in the 'real' TaskConfig.h should cause all files to be rebuilt. If you get no rebuild after a change it would mean that it doesn't see it as a project file with dependency.

Last thought... Also try a project rebuild (rather than just compile - it is also sometimes known as a clean) to ensure that the files actually using the TaskConfig.h content are being compiled with its new content. I have seen cases where object files have (somehow) received newer dates than source files (a data in the future) and the make file never re-compiles because it thinks that the output is newer (nasty problems can arise until it is noticed). A rebuild will cause all object files to be deleted and then everything to be recompiled, resulting in a correction of any such corrupted projects.

Good luck

Regards

Mark
