SAFERTOS® Awareness

With an additional add-on, UDE provides extended functions for software development of real-time and safety critical applications, which are under control of the SAFERTOS® real-time operating system.

  • SAFERTOS® support is provided as UDE Add-On and extends a UDE basic debugger license.
  • SAFERTOS® Add-On consists of the SAFERTOS® Support Window that provides a comprehensive and detailed view to information about SAFERTOS® resources and objects.
  • The shown information is directly collected from the target system.
  • No separate description file or similar is needed.
  • Available information depends on particular SAFERTOS® Configuration is determined at compile time and does not change during run-time.
  • Task trace and visualization of executed tasks / functions in the UDE Execution Sequence Chart. This feature requires a trace-enabled device.
