## Hardware setup
This example uses the board's default configuration. See the kit user guide to ensure that the board is configured correctly.
> **Note:** The PSoC™ 6 Bluetooth® LE Pioneer Kit (CY8CKIT-062-BLE) and the PSoC™ 6 Wi-Fi Bluetooth® Pioneer Kit (CY8CKIT-062-WIFI-BT) ship with KitProg2 installed. ModusToolbox™ requires KitProg3. Before using this code example, make sure that the board is upgraded to KitProg3. The tool and instructions are available in the [Firmware Loader](https://github.com/Infineon/Firmware-loader) GitHub repository. If you do not upgrade, you will see an error like "unable to find CMSIS-DAP device" or "KitProg firmware is out of date".
## Software setup
See the [ModusToolbox™ tools package installation guide](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxInstallguide) for information about installing and configuring the tools package.
Install a terminal emulator if you don't have one. Instructions in this document use [Tera Term](https://teratermproject.github.io/index-en.html).
This example requires no additional software or tools.

</details>
## Operation
If using a PSoC&trade; 64 "Secure" MCU kit (like CY8CKIT-064B0S2-4343W), the PSoC&trade; 64 device must be provisioned with keys and policies before being programmed. Follow the instructions in the ["Secure Boot" SDK user guide](https://www.infineon.com/dgdlac/Infineon-PSoC_64_Secure_MCU_Secure_Boot_SDK_User_Guide-Software-v07_00-EN.pdf?fileId=8ac78c8c7d0d8da4017d0f8c361a7666) to provision the device. If the kit is already provisioned, copy-paste the keys and policy folder to the application folder.
1. Connect the board to your PC using the provided USB cable through the KitProg3 USB connector.
2. Open a terminal program and select the KitProg3 COM port. Set the serial port parameters to 8N1 and 115200 baud.
3. Program the board using one of the following:
<details><summary><b>Using Eclipse IDE</b></summary>
1. Select the application project in the Project Explorer.
2. In the **Quick Panel**, scroll down, and click **\<Application Name> Program (KitProg3_MiniProg4)**.
</details>
<details><summary><b>In other IDEs</b></summary>
Follow the instructions in your preferred IDE.
</details>
<details><summary><b>Using CLI</b></summary>
From the terminal, execute the `make program` command to build and program the application using the default toolchain to the default target. The default toolchain is specified in the application's Makefile but you can override this value manually:
```
make program TOOLCHAIN=<toolchain>
```
Example:
```
make program TOOLCHAIN=GCC_ARM
```
</details>
4. After programming, the application starts automatically. Confirm that **CAT1 class-B safety test: stack memory test FreeRTOS** is displayed on the UART terminal.
**Figure 1. Terminal output on program startup**
![](images/terminal-stack-freertos.png)
5. Press the user button to toggle the user LED. The serial terminal displays the result of the tests performed on the stack of the respective task.
## Debugging
You can debug the example to step through the code.
<details><summary><b>In Eclipse IDE</b></summary>
Use the **\<Application Name> Debug (KitProg3_MiniProg4)** configuration in the **Quick Panel**. For details, see the "Program and debug" section in the [Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; user guide](https://www.infineon.com/MTBEclipseIDEUserGuide).
> **Note:** **(Only while debugging)** On the CM4 CPU, some code in `main()` may execute before the debugger halts at the beginning of `main()`. This means that some code executes twice – once before the debugger stops execution, and again after the debugger resets the program counter to the beginning of `main()`. See [KBA231071](https://community.infineon.com/docs/DOC-21143) to learn about this and for the workaround.
</details>
<details><summary><b>In other IDEs</b></summary>
Follow the instructions in your preferred IDE.

## Design and implementation
This code example demonstrates the use of the Class-B Safety Test Library to test the stack overflow and stack underflow in a FreeRTOS environment for the PSoC&trade; 6 and XMC7000 MCUs. It utilizes the Class-B Safety Test Library to execute these tests.
The example starts by initializing the BSP configuration according to the design configurations and setting up the retarget-io for debug prints. The firmware then uses FreeRTOS to execute the tasks required by this application. The following tasks are created:
- **User button task**: Initializes the user button, processes the user button press, and sends a command to the LED task to toggle the LED. The task also acquires the task information of LED task and performs the stack memory test (stack underflow and overflow test) for the LED task before the context switch happens to LED task.
- **LED task**: Initializes the user LED and toggles the LED based on the received command from the User button task.
The code example executes the stack memory test for the stack of the Led task with the help of the Class-B Safety Test Library.
