RTOS support
The C-SPY debugger supports RTOS-aware debugging, provided that a plugin is available for the RTOS. RTOS-awareness means that execution can be controlled at task/thread level and that internal structures like task lists and semaphore queues can be displayed. RTOS plugins are available for the most popular real-time operating systems. Some RTOS plugins are included in IAR Embedded Workbench, others can be requested from the RTOS vendor.
