RTOS Awareness

Precision You Can Trust
NABL-Accredited Calibration | Available on Request

RTOS Awareness with UDE® extends debugging into the operating system layer. It gives you insight into tasks, queues, mutexes, and other OS objects, so you can track execution in real-time and optimize embedded systems running on certified or open-source RTOS platforms..

RTOS Awareness in UDE® Universal Debug Engine helps developers see what their operating system is doing while debugging embedded applications. Instead of just low-level code stepping, you can view real-time kernel objects like tasks, queues, and semaphores, plus track which task is active and how stack space is being consumed. This system-level view is essential for optimizing responsiveness and reliability in multitasking environments.

Support spans safety-certified RTOS like PXROS-HR and SAFERTOS®, both approved for SIL3/ASIL-D applications, as well as widely used kernels like FreeRTOS™, Keil RTX, µC/OS-II, and Nucleus PLUS. Automotive developers benefit from OSEK ORTI support, while rcX provides detailed insight for Hilscher netX controllers. Legacy and cross-architecture options like CMX-RTX™ and PXROS Realtime Kernel ensure coverage across C167, ST10, XC16x, TriCore™, Arm®, and PowerPC.
With RTOS Awareness, the UDE® debugger offers developers both hardware-level trace/debug and OS-level state, merging system diagnostics into one consistent interface.
