We are pleased to announce an integration with Microchip MPLAB X IDE, which makes it much easier to use FreeRTOS+Trace with Microchip debuggers and boards. From v2.7 we also provide MPLAB demonstration projects for both PIC32MX and PIC32MZ.

mplab-plugin

The integration is an MPLAB plugin that extract the trace data from the target system (from the RAM buffer of the recorder library) and writes it to a file, which you then open in FreeRTOS+Trace. This plugin also works with our other Tracealyzer products for OpenRTOS, SafeRTOS, and Micrium µC/OS-III.

Download the plugin here!

To install the pluing in MPLAB X IDE:

  • Extract the .nbm file from the provided zip file.
  • In MPLAB, select “Tools” -> “Plugins”. In the Plugins dialog, select the “Downloaded” tab and then click “Add Plugins…”. Select “org-percepio-freertostraceplugin.nbm” from the zip file.
  • Restart MPLAB and enable the plugin by selecting “Tools” -> “Embedded” -> “FreeRTOS+Trace Plugin”.
