Debugging Applications

RTX64 SDK provides extensions that allow you to debug Real-time Subsystem (RTSS) applications in the familiar Visual Studio or WinDbg environments. The following topics provide information on how to debug real-time applications and tips you can follow to debug applications during the development cycle more efficiently.

NOTE: RTX64 SDK is a separate component from RTX64 Runtime. It must be purchased, installed, and activated separately.

IMPORTANT! It is recommended that you gracefully stop a RTSS process rather than terminate it. When a process is terminated, internal objects may not be cleaned up correctly, which may result in an unstable Subsystem state. You should only terminate a process as a last resort.

• Debugging with Visual Studio
• Using the Monitor Utility
• Debugging with the RTX64 WinDbg Extension
