Hello! I have a simple question, how can I find where my task stack begins in RAM? I use heap_1.c implementation on dsPIC.

Thanks in advance,

There is currently a feature request, to be implemented for the next release, to provide a function that provides this and other information on the stack of a task. Currently you would have to inspect the task's control block manually.

Regards.

look in the linker map...

In case this is not immediately clear to you:

If you put a break somewhere in tasks.c you can see 'pxCurrentTCB', which points to the Task's Control Block of the task which is currently active.

Two fields in the PCB may be of interest:

~~~~~ StackTypet pxTopOfStack; /* Location of the last item placed on the tasks stack. */ StackTypet pxStack; /* Start of the stack. */ ~~~~~

And beside these two members, it might be interesting to check the actual Stack Pointer SP, which can be found in a window showing the CPU registers.

You will find the location of the stack that will be used at boot time.

For instance, these are 512 bytes of boot stack.

~~~~~ 00000200 a stack_size ... 0000fe00 B _stack 00010000 B _estack ~~~~~

This stack space becomes vacant as soon as the scheduler is started by calling vTaskStartScheduler(). The function xTaskCreate() will have allocated stack space for each of the tasks ( using pvPortMalloc() ).

I could not find anything in the map file. but the structure pxNewTCB->pxStack was a good hint!

Thanks to all
