RTOS Awareness

PXROS-HR from HighTec EDV Systeme is an object oriented real-time operating system for Infineon TriCore™ and AURIX™ and successor of the original real-time micro-kernel PXROS. PXROS-HR is officially safety approved and certified to be used for safety-related applications up to SIL3 (IEC61508) and ASIL-D (ISO 26262). It improves concepts of encapsulation and robustness by using the hardware protection mechanisms (MPU) of TriCore™ and AURIX™.

The rcX real-time operating system, which is specifically tailored to the architecture of the Hilscher's netX controllers, is a pre-emptive, multitasking operating system with a very low resources requirement. The rcX add-on for the UDE provides the user with a complete representation of the operating system objects. Own views show the application instances of tasks, queues, mutexes, semaphores, interrupts and UARTS with their characteristics and current status. The active task and the stack utilization of all stacks are recognizable at a glance.

The basis for the Nucleus add-on form is the UDE object model, which provides application-referred data such as variables and memory contents. For the transmission of relevant data the default debug communication channel is used. Beside the preferred JTAG communication interface the ASC-, SSC- or CAN- interface can be used too. This solution participates from the advantage, that for the RTOS visualization no dedicated interface must be reserved and this thus can be used without reservation by the user application.
