System analysis made easier with SystemView V4

The new version of SystemView introduces support for adding the firmware ELF file directly to a project. This provides SystemView with crucial information without requiring any modification of the target source code, simplifying both recording and analysis of system behavior.

With the new Print ELF feature, log messages no longer need to be included in the firmware image. Instead, the target application records an ID, while SystemView retrieves the corresponding string from the ELF file. This can significantly reduce firmware ROM usage as well as SystemView RTT bandwidth requirements.

Automatic resource naming further streamlines analysis. Names of system resources such as queues, mutexes, tasks, and mailboxes are extracted directly from the ELF information, eliminating the need to explicitly register them in the firmware. SystemView now displays resource names out of the box, making system analysis more efficient and easier to interpret.
