wRTOS SDK installs VSIX packages to the folder %wRTOSSDKDir1%\VSExtensions when the corresponding Visual Studio feature is selected in the wRTOS SDK installer. These packages install the MaxRT wRTOS Debugger and templates for creating RTSS applications and RTDLLs. For more information, see Packages Installed with the wRTOS SDK.
You can use the MaxRT wRTOS Debugger to debug your Real-Time Subsystem (RTSS) applications. The RTSS environment supports debugging two types of binaries:
- RTSS process - the executable code that performs your real-time tasks, consisting of one or more threads.
- RTDLL - a real-time dynamic link library loaded by an RTSS application, either implicitly or explicitly.
Before running or debugging any of the programs, ensure that the Real-Time Subsystem (RTSS) is running by checking Subsystem status in wRTOS Settings.
Note: If you do not start the Subsystem, you may experience a short delay when debugging starts.
For more information on configuring the MaxRT wRTOS Debugger, see Setting Debugging Properties in Visual Studio.
You can also attach the Visual Studio debugger to an RTSS process running on a local or remote system. For more information, see
