There are several know issues with this release.
| ID |
Headline |
| SDOCM00081894 | We need a ServiceMgr.TransportType_NULL to reduce code footprint for multicore devices. |
| SDOCM00081893 | LoggingSetup.loadLoggingRuntimeControl is not being ignored |
| SDOCM00081892 | Target package needs to update references to Multicore System Analyzer to new name (System Analyzer) |
| SDOCM00081291 | UploadMode_NONJTAG_AND_JTAGSTOPMODE does not do timestamp correlation |
| SDOCM00077654 |
UIA Scripts do not support multi-core well |
| SDOCM00077653 |
Loading DSP on Netra example has lots of warning...but works |
| SDOCM00077649 |
Rta only obtains events from statically created logger instances |
| SDOCM00077589 |
IpcMP creates a replyMQ on each processor. It only needs it on the master. |
| SDOCM00077588 |
IpcMP should not assert in error conditions. It should log an event and recover. |
| SDOCM00077586 |
Rta's ROV only supports LoggerCircBuf |
| SDOCM00077585 |
Need to remove all compiler warnings in evmti816x examples |
| SDOCM00077324 |
ServiceMgr's ROV should obtain information from proxies |
| SDOCM00075422 |
LoggerCircBuf writes management of the pad is not optimal |
UIA ships with with many examples that interact with MCSA
Single-core
The
following examples can be built for all the supported targets. The
actual application is the same for all examples. The difference is the
way the data is moved up to MCSA. Stairstep varies the Task, Swi and
Hwi load every 5 seconds. When viewed on the CPU Load Analysis Feature,
it looks like a staircase.
- Stairstep JTAG Stopmode: The Log data is obtained when the target is halted
- Stairstep JTAG RunMode: The Log data is obtained by reading the running target (only works on C64X+ and C66 CPUs).
- Stairstep Ethernet:
The Log data is obtained by UDP packets. This example, as is, only
works for the EVM6472 board. Refer to the bottom of the .cfg file on
how to use on a different board.
- Stairstep Simulator: The Log data is obtained by temporarily stopping the target when the
Log call is made. To build this example, the XDC version must be 3.22
(or later) or the RTSC Build-Profile must be "release" or "debug"
(not "whole_program").
- Stairstep ProbePoint:
The Log data is obtained by temporarily stopping the target when the
Log call is made. To build this example, the XDC version must be 3.22
(or later) or the RTSC Build-Profile must be "release" or "debug"
(not "whole_program").
Multi-core- Message:
The message example shows how to use MessageQ on EVM6472 and UIA. It is
a single-image example that must be loaded on all cores. A message is
sent from core 0 to core 1 to core 2...back to core 0. The
UIABenchmark_start and stop is used on core 0 to determine the duration
of a round trip. The Log data is obtained via Ethernet.
- SimpleTask:
This example flips bits on an array. The example can be built for the
DSP and M3 targets on the EVMTI816X. There are two examples. One uses
LoggerCircBuf and one that uses LoggerSM. Refer to the readme.txt in
packages\ti\uia\examples\evmti816x directory and the MCSA User Guide
for more details.
Tutorials
- MCSA and UIA Tutorial 1: Logging events, benchmarking, controlling events (C64X+ or C66X simulator).
- MCSA and UIA Tutorial 2: Graphing events, using JTAG Run-Mode (C64X+ or C66X emulation target)
All releases have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb).
This includes GA and pre-releases (engineering, EA, beta, etc.).
Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 1.01.00.16_eng or
1.01.00.21-beta).
This product's version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb,
where M is a single digit Major number, mm
is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch
number, and b is an unrestricted set of digits used
as an incrementing build counter.
To support multiple side-by-side installations of the product,
the product version is encoded in the top level directory, ex. uia_1_00_00_38.
Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by
the patch number, ex. UIA 1.00.00.26 with directory uia_1_00_00_38.
Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
Please note that version numbers and compatibility keys are
NOT the same. For an explanation of compatibility keys, please refer to
the 'Upgrade and Compatibility Information' section.
