FreeRTOS-GDB
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Python API Library for inspecting FreeRTOS Objects in GDB
|
|
|
|
Basically, the FreeRTOS internal state is kind of hard to inspect
|
|
when working with GDB. This project provides some scripts for GDB's
|
|
Python API that make accessing some of these internals a little easier
|
|
to inspect.
|
|
|
|
##Requirements:
|
|
|
|
1. You need to have the python API enabled in your version of GDB. This is a
|
|
compile time option when building GDB. You should be able to do something
|
|
like this:
|
|
```
|
|
gdb> python print "Hello World"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and get predictable results. If it throws an error - then you don't have
|
|
python compiled in your version of GDB.
|
|
|
|
2. Need to be using FreeRTOS 8.0+. This code could probably be used with FreeRTOS
|
|
version 7.0 or previous versions, but the current code doesn't support it.
|
|
|
|
3. You need to use the Handle Registry for Queue info to be any use.
|
|
Note that this only works for Queue based objects and not
|
|
for EventGroups
|
|
|
|
4. You need to put the FreeRTOS-GDB/src directory on your python path:
|
|
```
|
|
$> export PYTHONPATH=~/src/FreeRTOS-GDB/src/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
How To Use:
|
|
```
|
|
$> gdb ./bin/program.elf
|
|
(gdb) c
|
|
Program runs on embedded device, sets up tasks, and queues
|
|
<Break>
|
|
(gdb) source ~/FreeRTOS-GDB/src/FreeRTOS.py
|
|
(gdb) show Task-List

@note - the NONE's above may just be empty strings.

|
This code adds the following custom GDB commands:
|
|
|
|
* show List-Handle (symbol|address) [CastType]
|
|
CastType is an optional argument that will cast all of the
|
|
handles in a list to a particular type.
|
|
* show Task-List
|
|
* show Handle-Registry
|
|
* show Handle-Name (symbole|address)
|
|
* show Queue-Info [filter]
|
|
filter can be "queue","mutex","semaphore", "counting", "recursive"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@TODO
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
* With GDB's Python API - it doesn't seem to handle code is separate
|
|
files very well.
|
|
|
|
* Currently, the EventGroup objects don't have an inspector.
|
|
Work in progress - ideal solution would likely modify the struct
|
|
of the Event Group to provide a similar piece of info that the
|
|
Queue handle does so that we could use the same registry.
