TRACE32 supports SYSGOs real-time operating system for safety critical systems, PikeOS
Hofolding, Germany, July 2006 - LAUTERBACH, the leading manufacturer of microprocessor development tools, now supports the real-time operating system for safety critical applications, PikeOS with its TRACE32 Debugger tools. PikeOS is a hard real-time,
POSIX and ARINC653 conformant OS, that is certifiable by IEC61508 and DO178B. The PikeOS awareness is included in all new releases of the TRACE32 software for PowerPC; other architectures will follow soon.
The PikeOS awareness provides easy access PikeOS objects such as partitions, processes and threads Performance analysis data can also be generated. TRACE32 gather all this information in real-time and non-intrusively, thus without affecting the customers
application. In respect to the full MMU support of PikeOS, TRACE32 also includes full MMU support, so the user is able to debug several tasks in different PikeOS partitions concurrently. Therefore, task related breakpoints can be set.
The traditional PikeOS usage domain is a safety and mission critical system where debugging of bootstrap code, initialization phase, interrupt routines, drivers and kernel is a must. Therefore, TRACE32 hardware debugger supports analyzing this complete
range of interest.
All features that the TRACE32 debugger provides for the PikeOS RTOS are implemented without any changes to the application or kernel. There are no patches, hooks or additional instrumentations of the code. It is part of Lauterbach's philosophy to make
TRACE32 debug exactly the same program code that will be incorporated into the finished product. This is the only way to guarantee, 100 percent, that the original application is tested and running correctly.
