1.started usinng freerots, have multiple tasks like ble server, wifi, pwm, adc, nvs, etc  
2. Now as code increases, new tasks keep on adding, is there any good static digarm tool which can make a diagram of all tasks & give a glance how all tasks are managed, so that it can give idea at glance  
3. deepseek suggested plantuml, i tried as well, it is generating good digarms  
4. Just wanted to know what static tool is mostly used in industry & any good suggestions ?

PlantUML seems a good option and as you say, it does solve your problem as well.

Thanks Gaurav for suggestion

Can you also tell what is industry standard in this, which tool they use to visualize?  
Is it static or run time tasks visualization they keep?

I do not think there is any “industry standard” as such. People use different tools as per their preferences.

Hi ,

My experience with plantUml is good. I used sequence diagram to depict how tasks are interacting.

State diagram and flow chart within tasks as per requirement.

You will get a fair understanding about sequence diagram to kick start through below link:

1.

1. And user manual of PlantUml.

Hope this helps you….

I agree with the PlantUML approach, VSCode and Notepad++ both have useful extension to view the UML diagrams
