Freescale MQX™ Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) users can benefit from DS-5 Debugger's built-in RTOS support, which includes task-aware debug and visibility into RTOS internal data structures such as interrupts, semaphores and task queues.
Integrated Debug Control
DS-5 Debugger has full visibility of processor cores, tasks and call stack. The Debug Control view displays all this information in an intuitive layout, on a per debug connection basis, making it extremely easy to identify the current context and switch between stack frames. Additionally, also DS-5 breakpoints are customized for the specific OS, enabling task-specific conditions for breaking the execution.
MQX Data Views
The RTOS Data view in DS-5 offer great flexibility for visualization of internal RTOS' data structures. As standard to most DS-5 views, you can display as many instances of the RTOS Data view in your IDE as necessary. Each of them can be configured to show different pieces of information about the RTOS internal state. For instance, you can select to simultaneously see the lists of tasks, semaphores and mutexes.
