# FreeRTOS Real Time Stats Example
|
|
|
|
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
|
|
|
|
FreeRTOS provides the function `vTaskGetRunTimeStats()` to obtain CPU usage statistics of tasks. However, these statistics are with respect to the entire runtime of FreeRTOS (i.e. **run time stats**). Furthermore, statistics of `vTaskGetRunTimeStats()` are only valid whilst the timer for run time statistics has not overflowed.
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates how to get CPU usage statistics of tasks with respect to a specified duration (i.e. **real time stats**) rather than over the entire runtime of FreeRTOS. The `print_real_time_stats()` function of this example demonstrates how this can be achieved.
|
|
|
|
## How to use example
|
|
|
|
### Hardware Required
|
|
|
|
This example should be able to run on any commonly available ESP32 development board.
|
|
|
|
### Configure the project
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
idf.py menuconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Select `Enable FreeRTOS to collect run time stats` under `Component Config > FreeRTOS` (this should be enabled in the example by default)
|
|
|
|
* `Choose the clock source for run time stats` configured under `Component Config > FreeRTOS`. The `esp_timer` should be selected be default. This option will affect the time unit resolution in which the statistics are measured with respect to.
|
|
|
|
### Build and Flash
|
|
|
|
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)
|
|
|
|
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
|
|
|
|
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
|
|
|
|
## Example Output
|
|
|
|
The example should have the following log output:
|
|
|
|
```

## Example Breakdown
|
|
|
|
### Spin tasks
|
|
|
|
During the examples initialization process, multiple `spin` tasks are created. These tasks will simply spin a certain number of CPU cycles to consume CPU time, then block for a predetermined period.
|
|
|
|
### Understanding the stats
|
|
|
|
From the log output, it can be seen that the spin tasks consume nearly an equal amount of time over the specified stats collection period of `print_real_time_stats()`. The real time stats also display the CPU time consumption of other tasks created by default in ESP-IDF (e.g. `IDLE` and `ipc` tasks). |
