FreeRTOS support

Debugging of Real-Time Critical Applications in FreeRTOS

FreeRTOSŸ is an open source real-time operating system kernel available for a large number of microcontroller platforms and small devices. The design follows the principle to be small and simple. UDE provides extended functions for software development of real-time critical applications, which are under control of the FreeRTOSŸ real-time operating system.

• FreeRTOSŸ support is provided as UDE®Add-On and extends a UDE basic debugger license
• FreeRTOS Add-On consists of the FreeRTOS Support Window that provides a comprehensive and detailed view to information about FreeRTOSŸ resources and objects
• The shown information is directly collected from the target system
• No separate description file or similar is needed
• Available information depends on particular FreeRTOSŸ configuration. Configuration is determined at compile time and does not change during run-time.
