Application Note 194

Using the Real-Time Agent

The Real-Time Agent extends the ULINK2 USB-JTAG Adapter with the following features:

• Read and write memory during program execution. The Memory Window and Watch Window display application data while the program is executing, and if View â€" Periodic Window Update is enabled, these windows refresh automatically.
• Terminal emulation via the ULINK2 for user I/O in the µVision Serial Window.
• Adds a debug output function (RTA_printf) for user I/O in the µVision Serial Window.

The Real-Time Agent is implemented in a compact C source file that is added to the user application. It complies to less than 1.5kB, and is optimized to be as resource light as possible.
