Unintended Task launched, best way to Debug

[shaw]

We are working on a new project on XU316-1024-FB265-C32, based on Xmos USB Audio 2 development software kit. We are trying to optimize certain tasks and we are trying to make sure we have a good handle on the overall task structure. During a analysis of running threads we realized that one of the tile 1 threads was not intentionally launched in our software. Output from (gdb) info threads is listed here:

15 tile[1] core[7] rx_bit_ep () at .../wkspace/lib_uart/lib_uart/src/multi_uart_rx_8chan.S:128

12 tile[1] core[4] 0x00088afa in ?? ()


Thread 12 on tile[1] core[4] is confusing how it was launched. Are there any clues in the "Info Threads" output, AND what are some ways to try to identify where in our code this task is being created, so we can remove it. Thanks for any help.
