4.10 Using the Execution Graph to View Program Execution
You can use the Code Composer Studio Execution Graph to see a visual
display of thread activity by choosing DSP/BIOS
→Execution Graph.
4.10.1 States in the Execution Graph Window
The Execution Graph, as seen in Figure 4-22, examines the information in the
system log (LOG_system in the Configuration Tool) and shows the thread
states in relation to the timer interrupt (Time) and system clock ticks (PRD
Ticks).
Figure 4-22. The Execution Graph Window
White boxes indicate that a thread has been posted and is ready to run. Blue-
green boxes indicate that the host had not yet received any information about
the state of this thread at that point in the log. Dark blue boxes indicate that a
thread is running.
Bright blue boxes in the Errors row indicate that an error has occurred. For
example, an error is shown when the Execution Graph detects that a thread
did not meet its real-time deadline. It also shows invalid log records, which
can be caused by the program writing over the system log. Double-click on
an error to see the details.
