Error management : backtrace problem

Legacy Open AT
1

Hi everybody,

I tried to get backtrace after an exception (ADL_INIT_REBOOT_FROM_EXCEPTION event in adl_main). I want to display the backtrace in the terminal emulator.
I used bug_GetBkTrcBuffer to get the backtrace buffer. The problem is that adl_errRetrieveNextBacktrace returns always -11 ADL_RET_ERR_DONE… I don’t analyze theses backtraces before. When a cause an exception, there isn’t new backtrace available…

I’m using an Q2686H with OpenAT 4.

Does someone have an idea ?

Thanks

u8 * bug_GetBkTrcBuffer ( u8 BktrId, u16 * Size, u8 * Count )

    u8 * TotalBuffer = NULL;
    
    // Initialize backtraces analysis
    s8 AnalysisHandle = adl_errStartBacktraceAnalysis();
    
    TRACE (( 2, "[bug_GetBkTrcBuffer] start analysis : %d", AnalysisHandle ));
    
    // Initialize variables
    *Count = 0;
    *Size = 0;

    // Check handle
    if ( AnalysisHandle >= OK )
    {
        s32 sReturn = OK;
        s32 NextBufferSize;

        while ( sReturn == OK )

I supose this code keep traces in the modem. But, how you retrieve it to view traces in a pc which the modem is conected??

Hi nebuchanazer,

You can use de TRACE function who display the trace in the target monitoring tool.

The bug sample didn’t work in debug mode. You must compile it in wismo target mode, upload the dwl and run the sample. Works perfectly after :wink:
