Micrium Inc. and SEGGER Microcontroller GmbH & Co. today announced SystemView support for Micrium’s µC/OS-II® and µC/OS-III® real-time operating system (RTOS) kernels. The tool offers real-time recording and visualization that exposes the true run-time behavior of a µC/OS-II or µC/OS-III RTOS-based application. SystemView allows a developer using either kernel to ensure a system performs as designed, by tracking down inefficiencies and showing unintended interactions and resource conflicts. Micrium and SEGGER collaborated to tailor SystemView for use with the µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III kernels. Using SystemView, developers can analyze which interrupts, […]
