Debug and trace tool supports ThreadX operating system
ASSET InterTech’s SourcePoint debugger now supports Express Logic’s ThreadX real-time operating system, giving development engineers multiple views of the code execution context at any point in a program. When software engineers have greater visibility into the context of operating system resources and the execution of multithreaded programs, they are able to accelerate code debug and deliver new products to market sooner.
With SourcePoint, the software engineer can select one of ThreadX’s resources and the debug information automatically displayed will be context-sensitive. The selectable resources include threads, timers, queues, semaphores, mutexes (mutual exclusions) and other components of the operating system.
SourcePoint became a part of ASSET’s portfolio of debug, validation and test tools when Arium was acquired by ASSET last year.
“Many complex systems-on-a-chip (SoC) for today’s embedded designs require an operating system like ThreadX that has a small-footprint, but is also very responsive,” said John Carbone, vice president of marketing at Express Logic. “Software developers encounter problems when they get to the debug stage because they have to find the root causes of bugs in complex programs made up of multiple threads running concurrently on multiple cores. It’s not easy, but giving these developers the context-sensitive visibility that comes with a tool like ASSET’s SourcePoint debugger helps tremendously. We believe that ASSET’s SourcePoint debugger will help ThreadX developers complete their projects sooner.”
