Microchip PIC32 microcontrollers get FreeRTOS design tool

PIC32 Bluetooth starter kitThere is now a version of FreeRTOS+Trace for Microchip’s PIC32 microcontrollers and MPLAB X IDE, thanks to a Swedish developer of RTOS visualization tools, Percepio AB.

FreeRTOS+Trace is the standard trace analyser for FreeRTOS. It allows the developer to visualises run-time behaviour of their embedded software, and it provides more than 20 views and these views are interconnected in helpful ways.

According to the supplier, this will “allow viewing the trace from multiple perspectives, for instance task scheduling, communication and synchronization, as well as resource usage and logged application variables”.

FreeRTOS+Trace for PIC32 comes with a plugin for MPLAB X IDE.

MPLAB X is an open source based IDE which is used to to develop code for Microchip’s microcontrollers. It runs on a PC with Windows, Mac OS or Linux operating systems.

The addition of the FreeRTOS+Trace tool has been made possible because the MPLAB X IDE is based on the open source NetBeans IDE from Oracle.

FreeRTOS+Trace for PIC32 costs $149 for the Standard Edition and $249 for the Professional Edition.

The tool allows developers to visualise the software running on the MCU during debugging, validation and profiling.

Percepio is a five year old company  based in Västerås, Sweden. It specialises in creating visual runtime diagnostics tools for embedded and Linux-based software.
