µVISION DEBUGGER: Enabling the Stack Usage Watermark Feature

µVISION DEBUGGER: Enabling the Stack Usage Watermark Feature Information in this knowledgebase article applies to: MDK-ARM projects created with ARM::CMSIS Software Pack version V4.3.0 or higher MDK-ARM Version 5.14 or higher QUESTION I've heard that there is a Stack usage watermark feature in MDK-ARM V5.14 debugger, but I can't find this option in the Configuration Wizard view of the RTX_Conf_CM.c file in my project. Where is this feature and how do I enable it? ANSWER To use the Stack usage watermark feature, you must install version V4.3.0 (or later) of the ARM::CMSIS Software Pack. V4.3.0 includes a new version of the RTX_Conf_CM.c file which allows you select this new feature. To update your RTX_Conf_CM.c file, follow these steps: Install V4.3.0 (or higher) of the ARM::CMSIS Software Pack from the Pack Installer. Open the file RTX_Conf_CM.c in a µVision text edit window. Right-click the RTX_Conf_CM.c tab, and select Open Containing Folder. Rename the file RTX_Conf_CM.c to RTX_Conf_CM.bak. Select No, when asked if you want to "Keep the file inside the editor". Select No, when asked if you want to "Save changes to RTX_Conf_CM.c". Note that there is now a yellow exclamation mark visible on the RTX_Conf_CM.c icon inside the project window confirming that the file does not exist. Next, just open the Manage Runtime Environment window and close it by selecting OK. This copies a new version of RTX_Conf_CM.c into your project folder, and removes the exclamation mark. Open RTX_Conf_CM.c inside the editor. Select the Configuration Wizard. Expand the Thread Configuration tab. The Stack usage watermark checkbox is visible now, as shown below: With the µVision Debugger activated, the System and Thread Viewer lists the current and maximum Stack Usage MORE INFORMATION Refer to Stack Usage Watermark at Thread Configuration Refer to System and Thread Viewer in the µVision User's Guide.
