Micrium, the embedded community's premier supplier of RTOS components,
today announced a plug-in that allows users of IAR's popular Embedded
Workbench® IDE to more easily leverage the capabilities of Micrium's
unique visualization tool, uC/Probe. The plug-in connects uC/Probe to
Embedded Workbench's C-SPY® debugger over TCP/IP, giving the debugger
exciting new Graphical Live WatchTM capabilities for
practically all of the targets that it supports.
With uC/Probe, users of Embedded Workbench can easily display, in real
time, data from running embedded systems, on graphical elements such as
gauges, meters, bar graphs, plots and numeric indicators. Developers
using the tool can also write data, through sliders, switches and other
virtual input devices.
A real-time kernel is not needed to take advantage of the capabilities
that uC/Probe provides, but the tool offers a robust kernel-awareness
package for developers whose systems are based on Micrium's uC/OS-III.
This package consists of pre-populated data screens that report a
plethora of kernel-related statistics.
"For application-level debugging, a high-level tool such as uC/Probe is
much more suitable than its lower-level counterparts," noted Jean J.
Labrosse, Founder, President and CEO of Micrium. "A complex embedded
system, composed of several tasks executing interrelated duties, cannot
be efficiently debugged with breakpoints at the C level. The new TCP/IP
bridge between C-SPY and uC/Probe will expand Embedded Workbench's
C-level debugging capabilities, while enabling uC/Probe to support more
target architectures."
The new C-SPY plug-in for uC/Probe will be included in an upcoming
release of Embedded Workbench. A free evaluation version of uC/Probe is
available now from Micrium's
Web site.
