Introduction

This example demonstrates profiling of interrupts. Two tasks are created, three interrupts of different priority levels are configured. The interrupts are triggered to cause nesting & the behaviour of interrupts is verified against a reference. If the behaviour of interrupts is as expected, the total ISR load and CPU load is displayed and the example is marked as passed.

Supported Combinations

Steps to Run the Example

• When the INTR_PROF macro is modified, the library needs to be re-built. This can be done only using makefiles. (see Using SDK with Makefiles).
• When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu (see Using SDK with CCS Projects).
• When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command (see Using SDK with Makefiles)
• Launch a CCS debug session and run the executable, see CCS Launch, Load and Run
