how to switch to other task's context

[HarryXia]

I am using STM32CubeIDE to develop a product with STM32H7 chip. I enabled freeRTOS in our software system. When I debug code, I can see freeRTOS tasks in "FreeRTOS Task list window" and I am in current task context. How can I switch to other task's context for debug?

Hello @HarryXia 

Here is an introduction STM32Cube tools in practice - STM32CubeIDE - FreeRTOS aware debug - YouTube.
In order to use debug feature for debug, it is necessary to activate few options within FreeRTOS configuration, configure a timer or use DWT to count ticks for CPU time usage by tasks.

There is a secret revolutionary method - setting a breakpoint and running the code!

Thanks @FBL 

I watched the introduction link and found that I forgot to enable RTOS proxy. After I enable RTOS proxy, I can see all freeRTOS threads and can switch and see all threads context.
