Processor Status Window

• shows the processor's register fields graphically in both symbolic and numeric format
• supports controll of the direction and status of I/O ports
• ports used by the internal peripheral device of the contents are shown in deactivated state

 

 

Monitor Kernel

A monitor kernel on the target system controls program execution and communicates with the host

• target-specific communication settings are completed by patching the kernel code during initial download
• no special knowledge of the tool chain required due to a precompiled monitor kernel 
• provides a monitor kernel access authorization feature to safeguard the embedded Flash memory from code read-out with the monitor debugger
• easy set-up of firmware protection
• complexity of authorization process can be defined by user

 

 

RTOS awareness

• allows debugging on target systems using real-time kernels
• full integration of the embOS Viewer module, which allows to display kernel resources and a high level of sophisticated real-time analysis information
• no additional serial communication line for the embOS viewer
• embOS is a priority-controlled real-time multitasking system
• embOS has small memory footprint both in RAM and ROM and runs at high speed while offering considerable versatility

Accemic MDE comes with an embOS demo version and ready-to-run embOS sample projects. 

 

 

Target Messaging

Accemic MDE has implemented different functions to transmit messages from the application program to the PC. acc_MessageBox function allows a string from the application to be sent to a Message Box on the PC screen, similar to the Win32 API MessageBox function. acc_printf function allows formatted output into the Target Messages Window

 

Browser

clearly shows used files, functions, interrupts as well as local and global variables are quick access to contents of arrays and structures due to display of variable in form of a tree a variable manager ensures continuous update of the contents of the represented variables and the used pointers type-sensitive editor allows modification of variables in binary, decimal, hex, floats and string format drag-and-drop of variables into watch-window copy of value of value of a variable into another by a single mouse-click variables browsers and watch window fully support all C types including structs, unions, arrays, enumerators, and floats
