6.2. Commands#

This section details the RTEMS Specific Commands available. A subsection is dedicated to each of the commands and describes the behavior and configuration of that command as well as providing an example usage.

6.2.1. rtems - RTEMS Details#

SYNOPSYS:

rtems

DESCRIPTION:

This command reports various RTEMS specific details such as a the version, CPU and CPU module, BSP name, version of tools and the build options.

EXIT STATUS:

This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered.

NOTES:

The following commands are supported:

ver: Version of RTEMS running
cpu: CPU name and model
bsp: Name of the BSP
tools: Version of the tools used to build RTEMS
opts: RTEMS build options
all: All of the available commands

EXAMPLES:

The following is an example of how to use rtems:

SHLL [/] # rtems
RTEMS: 6.0.0 (071640d310b432d15350188c2ebf086653a0d578)

The version of RTEMS running is displayed. To see the CPU name and moduel enter:

SHLL [/] # rtems cpu
CPU: SPARC (w/FPU)

The help command will list all available commands. The all command will display all avalable output:

SHLL [/] # rtems all
RTEMS: 6.0.0 (071640d310b432d15350188c2ebf086653a0d578)
CPU: SPARC (w/FPU)
BSP: erc32
Tools: 12.1.1 20220622 (RTEMS 6, RSB f4f5d43a98051f7562103aaa2ec7723c628c6947, Newlib ea99f21)
Options: DEBUG POSIX

CONFIGURATION:

This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_RTEMS to have this command included.

This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_RTEMS when all shell commands have been configured.

PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:

The configuration structure for the rtems has the following prototype:

extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_RTEMS_Command;

6.2.2. shutdown - Shutdown the system#

SYNOPSYS:

shutdown

DESCRIPTION:

This command is used to shutdown the RTEMS application.

EXIT STATUS:

This command does not return.

NOTES:

NONE

EXAMPLES:

The following is an example of how to use shutdown:

SHLL [/] $ shutdown
System shutting down at user request

The user will not see another prompt and the system will shutdown.

CONFIGURATION:

This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_SHUTDOWN to have this command included.

This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_SHUTDOWN when all shell commands have been configured.

PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:

The configuration structure for the shutdown has the following prototype:

extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_SHUTDOWN_Command;

6.2.3. cpuinfo - print per-processor information#

SYNOPSYS:

cpuinfo

DESCRIPTION:

This command may be used to print per-processor information.

EXIT STATUS:

This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered.

EXAMPLES:

The following is an example of how to use cpuinfo:

SHLL [/] $ cpuinfo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            PER PROCESSOR INFORMATION
-------+--------+--------------+-----------------------------------------------
 INDEX | ONLINE | SCHEDULER ID | SCHEDULER NAME
-------+--------+--------------+-----------------------------------------------
     0 |      1 |   0x0f010001 | UPD

In the above example, the system has only one processor. This processor has the index zero and is online. It is owned by the scheduler with the identifier 0x0f010001 and name UPD.

CONFIGURATION:

This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_CPUINFO to have this command included.

This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_CPUINFO when all shell commands have been configured.

PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:

The cpuinfo is implemented by a C language function which has the following prototype:

int rtems_cpu_info_report(
    const rtems_printer *printer
);

The configuration structure for the cpuinfo has the following prototype:

extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_CPUINFO_Command;

6.2.4. cpuuse - print or reset per thread cpu usage#

SYNOPSYS:

cpuuse [-r]

DESCRIPTION:

This command may be used to print a report on the per thread cpu usage or to reset the per thread CPU usage statistics. When invoked with the -r option, the CPU usage statistics are reset.

EXIT STATUS:

This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered.

NOTES:

The granularity of the timing information reported is dependent upon the BSP and the manner in which RTEMS was built. In the default RTEMS configuration, if the BSP supports nanosecond granularity timestamps, then the information reported will be highly accurate. Otherwise, the accuracy of the information reported is limited by the clock tick quantum.

EXAMPLES:

The following is an example of how to use cpuuse:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the above example, the system did something for roughly 15 seconds when the first report was generated. The cpuuse -r and cpuuse commands were pasted from another window so were executed with no gap between. In the second report, only the SHLL thread has run since the CPU Usage was reset. It has consumed approximately 16.509 milliseconds of CPU time processing the two commands and generating the output.

CONFIGURATION:

This command is included in the default shell command set. When building a custom command set, define CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_CPUUSE to have this command included.

This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_CPUUSE when all shell commands have been configured.

PROGRAMMING INFORMATION:

The cpuuse is implemented by a C language function which has the following prototype:

int rtems_shell_rtems_main_cpuuse(
   int    argc,
   char **argv
);

The configuration structure for the cpuuse has the following prototype:

extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_CPUUSE_Command;

6.2.5. stackuse - print per thread stack usage#

SYNOPSYS:

stackuse

DESCRIPTION:

This command prints a Stack Usage Report for all of the tasks and threads in the system. On systems which support it, the usage of the interrupt stack is also included in the report.

EXIT STATUS:

This command always succeeds and returns 0.

NOTES:

The CONFIGURE_STACK_CHECKER_ENABLED confdefs.h constant must be defined when the application is configured for this command to have any information to report.
