stack monitor utilities

Hi guys,

This is a querry related to the STACK monitoring on 62x DSP.

DSP system running perfectly with a DSP BIOS. It has a PRD defined to run at 10 ms. I would like to know, how I can monitor the STACK and find if it is getting corrupted/overflowing anytime.

Please help me find the solutions for the following:

1) How can I read the stack content?
2) How can I check if stack is corrupted?

regards,
Shiva

You could look for the .stack section in the map file and then view that area of memory using CCS. Tasks can use TSK_stat() to retrieve stack utilization, but I'm fairly sure that a PRD function uses the system stack.
