5.3 Trace

Tracealyzer, previously known as FreeRTOS+Trace, is an analysis tool that collects data on how the embedded application is behaving. This data is valuable when troubleshooting or optimizing the performance of the application. Tracealyzer provides a graphic visualization of when which of the tasks get to run, and this can be helpful to find problems such as starvation. Refer to the application note FreeRTOS™ Using Percepio® Trace on ATmega4809 for an explanation of how to use Tracealyzer in Atmel Studio.
