OS aware Debug & Trace with iSYSTEM winIDEA and FreeRTOS
A hardware debugger is great for giving us access to the lowest levels of the system we are debugging. However, when an OS is used, even a lightweight RTOS, we often run the risk of not seeing the forest for the trees when analyzing the behavior of our system. In other words, an OS abstraction layer in a debug tool can help us get a better understanding of the system by aggregating the low-level information and displaying it to us in a more concise manner.
This webinar discusses the FreeRTOS awareness features built into winIDEA. We start with demonstrating simple approaches like a plugin listing all the tasks and their attributes in a table. We then continue to more involved analyses before finishing with a demo of an advanced configuration of the Analyzer where the states of each task are shown in the Profiler timeline, enabling precise timing measurements.
