KADAK Announces availability of the AMX RTOS
KwikLook Fault Finder for the
ARM RealView Developer Suite
VANCOUVER, CANADA - February 23, 2004 -- KADAK Products Ltd.
announced today that KADAK's AMXTM
Real Time Operating System (RTOS) is now fully accessible
from the ARM®
RealView®
Developer Suite. The integration provided is unique and goes
well beyond the basic offerings of other RTOS vendors.
KADAK's KwikLookTM
Fault Finder plugs directly into the RealView Developer Suite
debugger to provide extensive detailed displays of internal
AMX RTOS objects and activities.
KwikLook provides the user with quick fingertip access to
everything controlled by AMX and its managers:
- Tasks
- Timers (ticks and ms)
- Mailboxes and message exchanges
- Message contents
- Semaphores
- Event groups
- Buffer pools
- Memory pools
All messages queued in mailboxes or message exchanges are
visible along with the sender's identification.
If no messages are present, KwikLook shows
the tasks, if any, that are waiting for a message to arrive.
KwikLook shows which tasks own resources and
which ones are waiting for them.
The state of all events in each event group can be viewed complete
with a list of the tasks waiting for specific event combinations.
The memory usage display gives a snapshot of current
allocation by the Memory Manager.
Unexpected fragmentation is readily observable.
Similarly, free and used buffers are shown for each buffer pool.
Using KwikLook, there are no surprises, no guessing.
Disappearing resources can be uncovered.
Unexpected task activity is exposed. Even stack overflow
and underflow can be observed.
"The extensibility of the ARM RealView Developer Suite
debugger provides developers with a tight coupling to powerful tools
like KwikLook," said Rod Crawford,
Product Manager, ARM.
"KADAK's integration with the RealView Developer Suite
combines their tool for extensive visualization of multitasking
real-time embedded applications with the
ARM industry leading compilation
and debug technology."
The ARM RealView Developer Suite is available now from ARM and
distributors of ARM RealView development tools.
KwikLook and the AMX RTOS
are available from KADAK Products Ltd.
