CMXBug* Debugger

The CMX CMXBug* debugger provides the user the ability to view and modify different aspects of the CMX multi-tasking operating system environment, while the userÆs application code is running. When the user enables the CMXBug task, it will send a menu to the screen. The user may then select one of many prompts, allowing the user to view and possibly change many aspects of the CMX RTOS environment. When the CMXBug task is running, it prohibits other tasks from running and freezes the task timers and cyclic timers, hence the user may view the "cur-rent state" of the CMX RTOS environment.
CMXBug allows the user to "single step" one system TICK, thus allowing normal activity to occur for one system TICK, with CMXBug resuming after this "single step". Another powerful feature allows the user to set the number of system TICKS that CMXBug will wait, allowing normal activity, before it resumes.
CMXBug allows the user access to most of the CMX OS features, such as: Tasks, Cyclic timers, Resources, Mailboxes, Queues, Stacks, the system TICK and TIMESLICE scales, etc. For example, you may view a task which shows: current task state, priority, starting address, events associated with the task, taskÆs stack address, etc. Also you may start a task, wake a task that was waiting on some entity, stop a task. In addition CMXBug allows the user information pertaining to each task percentage of RUNNING time to the total. This enables the user to obtain an accurate picture of each task, in relation to all tasks, which allows the user powerful insight as to how the processor time is being spent.
