Hi everyone, I'm trying to apply the patched files and follow the SystemView wiki tutorial, but every time I try from scratch I fail. Would it be possible to get some more details on how this setup was successfully completed?

Hi there!

Has there been any updates related the use of SystemView with any example?

I've tried to use the Patched files whitout luck, I'm definitely doing something wrong with the project configuration. A proven to work example would be useful.

Thanks.

Thanks a ton for your contributions, i will upload this to the internal ticket and hopefully, the developer gets time to review and integrate this into SDK

Ok...

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../PatchedFiles.zip

Contains the files I manually updated. I used the GCC path and the nrf52 for the original files.

Perhaps do a diff against the originals, then add #ifdef SYSTEMVIEW at the appropriate places??

Might be useful for others...

Thanks!

Is there a place where I can upload a .zip containing the modified files?

Glad to hear that you made it work. If you can provide the patch file then it will be very helpful for others trying to do the same. I can then make an internal ticket to integrate it into the sdk

Segger provides instructions that includes a patch file to modify "stock" FreeRTOS files. Nordic provides its FreeRTOS port for nrf52 in the SDK (external/freertos), but has modified the file structure moving some code from port.c and portmacro.h to port_cmsis_systick.c and portmacro_cmsis.h and a couple other files. This causes the patch file to not work.

I applied the changes manually and got things to work.

I can provide the modified files. It might be nice to use #ifdef's to make the changes available to others.

[quote user=""]Is there an "updated" example that combines the needs of BLE, FreeRTOS, and SystemView?[/quote]

I thought that the segger system view plugs into the freertos trace macros. I have not tried to make it work with FreeRTOSv10. I do not think that you can get a systemview plugged into the BLE stack but it should be possible to get a view on application specific activity.

Can you tell me what happens when you follow the instructions provided by the segger ? you do not get any activity at all?
