Can not access rcX RTOS state

When memory is not accessible, all windows will display the message:

Cannot access RTOS state

This is expected behavior until a debug session with download is initiated. If the message persists after the download has started, it likely means that the RTOS object symbols cannot be evaluated.

Checking for symbols

1. Open the Symbol Browser via View | Debug | Symbol Browser (or press ALT + F12).

2. Check whether the relevant RTOS symbols are present. Symbol names vary depending on the rcX RTOS version:

• Version 2.0.x.x: aptPrioTable, aptPrioTableEnd and ptCurTsk
• Version 2.1.x.x: g_ptCurrentTask and g_trXTaskList

Symbol detection depends on:

• Application source code
• Compiler toolchain and its settings
• Debug file format of the download file
• Loader configuration and symbol settings

Adjusting Symbol File settings

1. Go to Debug | Configure Session | Applications | Symbol Files.

2. Select the desired Symbol File and click Edit.

3. Click Advanced to open the advanced symbol configuration dialog.
