Replying now, after I have added traces within platform_panic I *do not* see them (also back on the default config I seem to have caused it to fail within first playthrough; it's also luck based with the timing). Will try tomorrow to also add prints in the agent itself and turn off other extra traces (so I don't get *too* much spam in the etrace buffer). I had written trace_error in there, which should have added the error within the etrace buffer I believe. -----Original Message----- From: Sound-open-firmware <sound-open-firmware-bounces@alsa-project.org> On Behalf Of Paul Olaru Sent: Monday, October 28, 2019 2:22 PM To: sound-open-firmware@alsa-project.org; Lauda, Tomasz <tomasz.lauda@intel.com> Cc: Jerome Laclavere <jerome.laclavere@nxp.com>; Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@nxp.com>; Guido Roncarolo <guido.roncarolo@nxp.com> Subject: [Sound-open-firmware] How to debug rare DSP crashes (moving discussion over from GH) Moving the discussion from https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com... over to this list. In summary, whenever I have the system agent enabled and at default values, after two or three continuous playthroughs (depending on which timer I use as the platform timer, for the most part) of the same song (with duration 17:06) I get a complete freeze (with verbose traces enabled I see no more activity in the trace mailbox, not even the WFX/WFE which are essentially flooding the trace mailbox during normal function) and no signs of panic (I'm going to test now with a trace added in platform_panic; currently this function is empty). Disabling the system agent helps, changing CONFIG_SYSTICK_PERIOD to 2000 also helps. And I hear no glitch at all during the playthroughs with either of these changes applied (although a 1ms or smaller glitch once in 30 minutes is probably unnoticeable by any human ear is it?) How should I continue with this? I'll come back and mention if there is a panic or the freeze comes from something else. _______________________________________________ Sound-open-firmware mailing list Sound-open-firmware@alsa-project.org https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman.al...
