Thread aware debugging

Ozone doesn’t just analyze run-time performance: it provides detailed information about the current state of your system when it’s halted. Thanks to Ozone’s embOS awareness plugins, you receive information about the application’s OS such as:

  • Which task did the system halt at?
  • What are the other tasks doing?
  • How much stack are they using?

How to enable embOS awareness

Ozone ships with ready-to-use embOS awareness. Additionally, a simple JavaScript plugin SDK is available for you to add awareness for embOS.

After loading an application which uses embOS, call Project.SetOSPlugin(“embosPlugin"); from the Console or your project file to enable the embOS awareness. Now the Tasks Window is available in the View menu.

Displaying task information with Task Window

With embOS awareness enabled, Ozone shows an additional Tasks Window. When halted in a debug session, the Tasks Window lists all tasks that are currently available in the system and shows their state.

For each task you can get information such as task name, priority, stack usage, or status. One task usually runs whilst the others are waiting or blocked. Additional information may provide you with the run count and the number of task events.

Check the current state of any task

Usually the Call Stack, Registers Window, and Local Data Window display information about the state where the system is actually halted. With embOS awareness you can also get this information about other tasks in the system.

Simply click on a Task in the list and you will see the window contents updating. Now you can get the call stack of the selected task and even check Local Data and register values for the called functions.

Pluggable OS awareness

Ozone can be made OS aware of any RTOS. The awareness can be added through a plugin interface using a Javascript file. Examples can be found in the Ozone installation folder and documentation can be found in the Ozone user manual.
