Table 5.1 describes OS marker status in the Process Control view.

Table 5.1. OS marker status in the Process Control view

StatusMeaning
NOT INITIALIZEDHSD or RSD is enabled but the triggering event that loads the plug-in, the *.dll file, has not occurred. This is the state immediately after connection if the plug-in is configured to load after image load.
HSD (PENDING)The plug-in has been loaded and RealView Debugger is waiting for the OS symbols to be loaded. This is the state immediately after connection if the plug-in is configured to load on connection.
HSD (PENDING OS)Symbols are loaded but the OS-aware plug-in is not yet active. This is the state immediately after image load.
HSDHSD is fully operational.
HSD (RUNNING)The system is running when RSD is disabled. This means that no up-to-date information about the OS can be shown. This value is never shown when RSD is enabled.
RSD (PENDING DA)RealView Debugger is waiting for notification that a Debug Agent has been found.
RSDRSD is fully operational.
HSD (RSD STOPPED)

RealView Debugger has changed from RSD to HSD debugging mode. This occurs when:

  • an HSD breakpoint is activated

  • you stop the processor using the STOP command

  • you select the Stop Target option on the Process Control view context menu.

HSD is available.

HSD (RSD INACTIVE)RSD was operational or pending but is now disabled. This occurs only by a user request. HSD is available.
HSD (RSD DEAD)RSD was operational but is now disabled. This is usually because the Debug Agent is not responding to commands or the OS has crashed. HSD is available.
RSD DEADRSD was operational but is now disabled. The debug target is still running. HSD is not available.
RSD (PENDING SYMBOLS)RSD is operational, contact to the Debug Agent has been established but no symbols have been loaded. This means that RSD only works partially until the symbol table is loaded. This usually occurs after connecting to a debug target that is already running the Debug Agent.

The OS marker is usually shown in black text in the Process tab. Where the marker is shown in red, either OS support is not ready, as shown in Figure 5.3, or there has been an error.
