Книга: Embedded Linux development using Eclipse

System Viewer

This is the Wind River equivalent of the Linux Trace Toolkit. It was previously called WindView and has been around for quite some time[14]. Like LTT it provides a graphical visualization of system events to reveal the complex interactions of tasks, threads, and interrupts (Figure 9.21). I think of this kind of tool as a logic analyzer for the software.

Figure 9.21: System Viewer.

You can scroll around the trace and zoom in on particular areas to see more detail. The set of processes, threads, and events being traced can be filtered to focus attention on specific areas of concern.
