Hi All

I am planning to use SEGGER J-Trace PRO with Ozone for real-time trace and RTOS awareness debugging on TI TMS570LC4357 MCU.

I understand that Ozone’s built-in FreeRTOS awareness plugins do not natively support Cortex-R5. SEGGER’s forums suggest using the existing scripts as a base to write a custom JavaScript plugin for Cortex-R5.

Before I go down that path, I wanted to check with the community:

  1. Has anyone successfully run SEGGER Ozone with FreeRTOS awareness on the TMS570LC4357?

  2. If so, are there any example Ozone project files or FreeRTOS JavaScript plugins available that target Cortex-R5/R5F that I could use as a starting point?

  3. If no ready-made plugin exists, what resources would you recommend for developing one? I am aware of the Ozone plugin SDK documentation (UM08025) but any practical examples or community scripts would be very helpful.

For context, my setup is:

  • MCU: TI TMS570LC4357 (ARM Cortex-R5F dual core lockstep)
  • RTOS: FreeRTOS (CMSIS-OS2 wrapper)
  • IDE: Code Composer Studio
  • Debug probe: SEGGER J-Trace PRO Cortex-A/R/M (planned purchase)
  • OS: Windows

Thanks

I checked that Ozone has support for TMS570LC4357. You should be able to create a project for this part using the new project wizard. Are you facing any problem in doing that?
