freeRTOS-visualizer

Python Tool to visualize RTOS tasks in real-time

Introduction

A Python-based tool that provides real-time visualization of task states in a FreeRTOS environment. It connects to a running FreeRTOS instance (emulated via QEMU) and displays task states dynamically using an intuitive GUI.

Features

• Real-Time Visualization: Monitor task states as they change in real-time.
• Dynamic Bar Charts: Visual representation of each task's current state.
• Data Export: Export task state histories as CSV files.
• Cross-Platform Support: Compatible with macOS, Linux, and Windows.
• Customizable Interface: Easily modify the visualization parameters.
