Summary

In this chapter, we've covered why having access to excellent debugging tools is important. The exact tools we'll be using to analyze system behavior (SEGGER Ozone and SystemView) have been introduced. You've also been guided through how to get these tools set up for use with future projects. Toward the end, we touched on a few other tools that won't be covered in this book just to raise awareness of them.

Now that we've covered MCU and IDE selection, and we have all of our tooling squared away, we have enough background to get into the real meat of RTOS application development.

Using this toolset will help you gain an in-depth understanding of RTOS behavior and programming as we dive into working examples in the upcoming chapters. You'll also be able to use this same tooling to create high-performing, custom real-time applications in the...
