Problems with C-Spy viewing tasks

C-Spy does not show my task state or minimum free stack size.  I get the error “Error (col 15): No such field.” when the FreeRTOS plug-in is activated.
I am using FreeRTOS 7.1.1 and
See bug report ID 3539800. IAR RL78 1.20.1, IAR Common components 6.3.18.2236
This is fairly annoying.  Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look for my issue?

I closed the bug report as it is not a bug in FreeRTOS.

I thought ARM was the only Embedded Workbench version that actually shipped with the plug-in.  Can you confirm that the plug-in was installed with IAR, and that you didn’t install it separately.  In any case, there is a forum for the plug-ins here:

The “No such field” warning is not a problem.  The plug-in code queries the kernel to see how it is configured.  It does this by attempting to read every possible field in the TCB, and if the field is not there, the warning is emitted (there is no way to avoid that) and the plug-in does not try to read it again.

Regards.

Yes, the plug-in was installed with IAR and is promoted as being available by both Renesas & IAR.

BTW, I tried to go to the forum link above and it timed out.

Crazy question… do you have an OSEK Run Time Interface description file for FreeRTOS?  That would likely let me use the ORTI plugin for C-Spy.

I just tried the link, and it seems to be ok now.

No OSEK interface, sorry.

Regards.
