Before you begin running an RTOS application

The RTOS-specific support files are not installed with the product. You must download and install the necessary OS support dll. For more information, select Goto RTOS Awareness Downloads from the Code window Help menu.

Before you can debug your RTOS application, you must specify the type of RTOS that your application is using, and enable the RTOS support:

• If you have a board/chip definition file (*.bcd) for the RTOS, amend your target connection to include that file, as described in How do I use a board/chip definition file?

Click on any setting in the picture above to see a description.

 If you are using Running System Debug, you must also make changes to the ARM_config entry before you select Save and Close from the File menu of the Connection Properties window.

You are now ready to connect to your RTOS-enabled target and start debugging your RTOS application.
