SystemView

SEGGER SystemView is a real-time recording and visualization tool for embedded systems that reveals the true runtime behavior of an application, going far deeper than the system insights provided by debuggers.

This package contains the SystemView target source code.

For more information refer to

Getting Started

Clone the SystemView Git Repository and the RTT Git Repository into your project or add them as a submodule. Alternatively Download the latest package and the RTT package and extract them to the project.

Usage and Configuration

Follow the documentation of RTT on how to add it to a project.

To include SystemView, add the SystemView core source code SYSVIEW/*.c and the SystemView RTOS Interface for the project's RTOS, e.g. Sample/embOS/SEGGER_SYSVIEW_embOS.c.

SystemView requires project-specific runtime configuration. Add the matching sample configuration source code from for example Sample/embOS/Config/Cortex-M0/ or implement a custom configuration, providing the required interface.

SystemView can be compile-time configured through SEGGER_SYSVIEW_Conf.h. In most cases the default configuration is sufficient and SEGGER_SYSVIEW_Conf.h can be left untouched. In this case, Config can be added as include directory. If additional configuration is required, it is recommended to copy SEGGER_SYSVIEW_Conf.h to the project's configuration directory and make changes to the copy. That way, configuration does not get overwritten by an update of the package. In that case, do not add Config as include directory.

Add SEGGER and SYSVIEW as include directories.

For more information on target-specific configuration and instrumentation of not-yet-supported RTOSes, refer to the SystemView User Guide.

CMSIS-Pack

The CMSIS-Pack enables easy integration of SystemView into CMSIS-based projects.

To use SystemView in a csolution project add pack: SEGGER::SystemView and one of these components:

  • component: SEGGER:SystemView&NoOS for bare-metal applications
  • component: SEGGER:SystemView&FreeRTOS for FreeRTOS-based applications

Both components require the RTT pack. The RTE directory is the project's config directory and contains the local copy of SEGGER_SYSVIEW_Conf.h for additional configuration.
