Mbed statistics
Mbed OS provides a set of functions that you can use to capture the memory and thread statistics at runtime. mbed_stats.h declares these functions. To enable all Mbed OS platform statistics, you must enable the following Mbed OS configuration option:
{
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"platform.all-stats-enabled": true
}
}
}
Tip: See the documentation of the Arm Mbed configuration system for more details about mbed_app.json.
Memory statistics
You can use memory statistics functions to capture heap use, cumulative stack use or stack use for each thread at runtime. To enable memory use monitoring, you must enable the following Mbed OS configuration options:
{
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"platform.heap-stats-enabled": true,
"platform.stack-stats-enabled": true
}
}
}
Note: Each malloc or calloc memory allocation call adds an overhead of 8 bytes when heap memory statistics are enabled.
Thread statistics
You can use the thread statistics function mbed_stats_thread_get_each to capture the thread ID, state, priority, name and stack information for all active threads at runtime. To enable thread monitoring, you must enable the following Mbed OS configuration options:
{
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"platform.thread-stats-enabled": true
}
}
}
System information
You can use the mbed_stats_sys_get function to get the CPU ID, compiler information and RAM and ROM memories on the target device. To enable system information fetching, you must enable the following Mbed OS configuration option:
{
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"platform.sys-stats-enabled": true
}
}
}
CPU statistics
You can use the mbed_stats_cpu_get function to get the uptime, idle time and sleep time information. Timing information available is cumulative because the system is on. Please note CPU statistics depend on the availability of the low power timer in the hardware. To enable fetching of CPU information, you must enable the following Mbed OS configuration option:
{
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"platform.cpu-stats-enabled": true
}
}
}
