7.3 Enabling the uC/OS-II Kernel Awareness
When running the IAR C-Spy debugger, the μC/OS-II Kernel Awareness Plug-In can be used to
provide useful information about the status of μC/OS-II objects and tasks. If the μC/OS-II Kernel
Awareness Plug-In is currently enabled, then a μC/OS-II menu should be displayed while debugging.
Otherwise, the plug-in can be enabled.
 Stop the debugger (if it is currently active) and select the Options menu item from the Project
menu.
 Select the Debugger entry in the list box and then select the Plugins tab pane.
 Find the μC/OS-II entry in the list and select the check box beside the entry, as shown below.
When the code is reloaded onto the phyCORE-LPC3250, the μC/OS-II menu should appear. Options
are included to display lists of kernel objects such as semaphores, queues, and mailboxes, including
for each entry the state of the object. Additionally, a list of the current tasks may be displayed,
including pertinent information for each task such as used stack space, task status, and task priority,
in addition to showing the actively executing task.
