AUTOSAR OS and RTE Profiling of Vector MICROSAR Applications with Instrumentation

In this webi­nar we will take a detailed look into OS and RTE pro­fil­ing of an MICROSAR OS based appli­ca­tion. Specif­i­cal­ly, we will uti­lize the Vec­tor OS tim­ing hooks to record task states and ISRs, as well as the VBF trace hooks to record Runnable events.

The use-case is rel­e­vant for micro­con­trollers that have lim­it­ed trace capa­bil­i­ties, such as the RH850 fam­i­ly with Soft­ware Trace, and micro­con­trollers that have a lim­it­ed trace band­width or num­ber of data trace com­para­tors, such as Cortex‑M based devices with SWO trace. How­ev­er, even on micro­con­trollers with more trace capa­bil­i­ties, such as the Infi­neon AURIX Emu­la­tion Devices, instru­men­ta­tion may be required to record a Runnable trace for extend­ed peri­ods of time.

The goal of this webi­nar is to give users a full under­stand­ing of the steps nec­es­sary to record the OS and RTE behav­ior of their MICROSAR appli­ca­tion via instru­men­ta­tion. We go through the dif­fer­ent con­fig­u­ra­tion steps in DaVin­ci Con­fig­u­ra­tor, the iSYS­TEM trace con­fig­u­ra­tion helper (iTCHi), and final­ly winIDEA. The demo will be done on an Infi­neon TC399XE based appli­ca­tion, but the knowl­edge is applic­a­ble to the oth­er archi­tec­tures men­tioned above.

About iSYSTEM

We empow­er embed­ded soft­ware engi­neers to do it right!

Our Blue­Box Tech­nol­o­gy stands for fast and easy micro­con­troller access via any kind of debug inter­face. Com­ple­ment­ed with inte­grat­ed develop­ment and test soft­ware winIDEA/testIDEA it pro­vides access to on-tar­get tim­ing infor­ma­tion. Embed­ded soft­ware engi­neers can review appli­ca­tion tim­ing, ana­lyze real-time oper­at­ing sys­tem states, and under­take code cov­er­age to prove that their prod­ucts do what they were built to do.
