CPU Utilization using FreeRTOS

Associate III

Hi

I want to measure the CPU usage of the tasks running by FreeRTOS.

I use the following code, but I see very inaccurate results.

I want to use a sliding window, or even a timer.

Is there a known solution or good practice to do so?

I use FreeRTOS with STM32H743 MCU.

#define CALCULATION_PERIOD  1000

xTaskHandle  xIdleHandle = NULL;

__IO uint32_t osCPU_Usage = 0;

uint32_t    osCPU_IdleStartTime = 0;

uint32_t    osCPU_IdleSpentTime = 0;

uint32_t    osCPU_TotalIdleTime = 0;

/* Private functions ---------------------------------------------------------*/

/**

 * @brief Application Idle Hook

 * @param None

 * @retval None

 */

void vApplicationIdleHook(void)

{

 if( xIdleHandle == NULL )

 {

  /* Store the handle to the idle task. */

  xIdleHandle = xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle();

 }

}

/**

 * @brief Application Idle Hook

 * @param None

 * @retval None

 */

void vApplicationTickHook (void)

{

 static int tick = 0;

 if(tick ++ > CALCULATION_PERIOD)

 {

  tick = 0;

  if(osCPU_TotalIdleTime > 1000)

  {

   osCPU_TotalIdleTime = 1000;

  }

  osCPU_Usage = (100 - (osCPU_TotalIdleTime * 100) / CALCULATION_PERIOD);

  osCPU_TotalIdleTime = 0;

 }

}

/**

 * @brief Start Idle monitor

 * @param None

 * @retval None

 */

void StartIdleMonitor (void)

{

 if( xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle() == xIdleHandle )

 {

  osCPU_IdleStartTime = xTaskGetTickCountFromISR();

 }

}

/**

 * @brief Stop Idle monitor

 * @param None

 * @retval None

 */

void EndIdleMonitor (void)

{

 if( xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle() == xIdleHandle )

 {

  /* Store the handle to the idle task. */

  osCPU_IdleSpentTime = xTaskGetTickCountFromISR() - osCPU_IdleStartTime;

  osCPU_TotalIdleTime += osCPU_IdleSpentTime;

 }

}

/**

 * @brief Stop Idle monitor

 * @param None

 * @retval None

 */

uint16_t osGetCPUUsage (void)

{

 return (uint16_t)osCPU_Usage;

}
