medium📝 Debug Q14 of 15
FreeRTOS - Debugging and Monitoring
You added trace hooks but see no data in FreeRTOS+Trace viewer. What is a likely cause?
AconfigUSE_TRACE_HOOKS is not set to 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h
BvTraceEnable(TRC_START) was called twice
CFreeRTOS+Trace viewer is not installed
DScheduler was started before enabling trace hooks
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check configUSE_TRACE_HOOKS setting

    If this is not set to 1, trace hooks do not run, so no data is recorded.
  2. Step 2: Verify other options

    Calling vTraceEnable twice or starting scheduler early usually does not prevent data. Viewer missing is unrelated to data generation.
  3. Final Answer:

    configUSE_TRACE_HOOKS is not set to 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Trace hooks disabled = no data [OK]
Quick Trick: Always enable configUSE_TRACE_HOOKS = 1 [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Forgetting to enable trace hooks in config
  • Blaming viewer instead of config settings
  • Assuming multiple vTraceEnable calls cause issues
