A Dynamic Duo for Complex Embedded Environments

Nov 22, 2024

The world of embedded systems grows ever more sophisticated and software-centric. In this new landscape,a reactive, fire-fighting mentality is no longer sufficient. Developers need a proactive strategy to gain continuous visibility into system behaviour—a strategy known as observability-driven development (ODD).

Multicore Tracing on FreeRTOS 11 and TI AM62x

Nov 19, 2024

FreeRTOS 11 introduced symmetric multi-processing (SMP) support in the mainline kernel, meaning a single FreeRTOS kernel is managing multiple processor cores. Percepio Tracealyzer has supported FreeRTOS for many years and we have now verified the support FreeRTOS 11, including SMP systems.
