Hi,

The very good IDE-independent standalone J-Link debugger Ozone from Segger has very good support for major RTOSes through RTOS awareness:
https://www.segger.com/products/development-tools/ozone-j-link-debugger/technology/rtos-awareness/

Surprisingly, there is no official plugin for ThreadX. There is a project on GitHub
https://github.com/fzawadiak/Ozone-ThreadX
adding some support, but I'd like to see an official plugin from Microsoft that adds full Ozone support for Cortex-M4 / M7.

As ThreadX is now available through many MCU vendors this will definitely help during development.

UPDATE: The same request applies to adding ThreadX support to Segger's SystemView which is a very advanced runtime analayzer:
https://www.segger.com/products/development-tools/systemview/

I really hope that such support will be added as it is highly requested by developers using professional Segger tools for debugging.

Thanks in advance,

Anguel

    We do not make or maintain ThreadX plugins. That is up to each tool vendor to provide.

    I have to agree with Anguel. Professional hw interface tools play a key role in productive embedded development. Ignoring this aspect feels like a mistake that competitors will benefit from.
