RTOS Visualisation for Micrium S Μc/OS-III

RTOS visualisation for Micrium’s µC/OS-III

Tamworth Staffs, 7th July 2016. Phaedrus Systems, the UKs leading supplier of tools for developing high integrity and safety critical systems, today announced that Percepio AB, the Swedish developer of RTOS visualization tools, has launched Tracealyzer for Micrium’s µC/OS-III® with streaming trace.

The new Tracealyzer for µC/OS-III is built on Percepio’s latest Tracealyzer 3.0 platform and contains its streaming trace recorder, which allows for capturing arbitrarily long trace recordings as well as the traditional snapshot (RAM buffer) recorder. The new Tracealyzer for µC/OS-III is an easy upgrade for licensed users of µC/Trace.

"It is satisfying that two of our principals are working together for mutual benefit," said Chris Hills, CTO of Phaedrus. "It is confirmation of our tactic of distributing best in class tools for system developers."

Percepio founder and CEO Dr. Johan Kraft said “Having Micrium’s µC/OS-III under the Tracealyzer umbrella will benefit its users and enable us to provide the same level of support and frequent updates as our other Tracealyzer products.”

“There are many challenges related to products incorporating an RTOS, which often aren’t revealed until the product has been up and running for some time,” said Jean Labrosse, president and CEO of Micrium. “What Percepio has achieved with Tracealyzer is to remove the guesswork of designing an RTOS-based system. It’s ability to record and then analyze what’s happening potentially over hours of run-time, gives developers a view into their system that would be impossible to have otherwise."

Percepio’s market-leading visualization offers 25+ views, which are cleverly interconnected to allow viewing the trace from multiple perspectives, including CPU usage, memory allocation, task synchronization and communication, in parallel with custom application logging.
