OSEK Run Time Interface
The OSEK Run Time Interface (ORTI) is an interface for development tools to the OSEK
Operating System. It is a part of the OSEK standard (refer to www.osek-vdx.org).
The ORTI enables the attached tool to evaluate and display information about the
operating system, its state, its performance, the different task states, the different operating
system objects etc.
ORTI File and Filename
The ORTI file name has the same name as the application file name, but with the
extension .ort. For instance, if the application file name is winLift_demo.abs, the
ORTI file name is winLift_demo.ort. Otherwise the debugger cannot use the correct
ORTI file.
The ORTI file contains dynamic information as a set of attributes that are represented by
formulas to access corresponding dynamic values. Formulas for dynamic data access are
comprised of constants, operations, and symbolic names within the target file. The given
formula can then be evaluated by the debug tool to obtain internal values of the required
OS objects.

Two types of data are made available to the CodeWarrior IDE debug tool. One type
describes static configuration data that remains unchanged during program execution. The
second type of data is dynamic and this data is re-evaluated each time by the CodeWarrior
IDE. The static information is useful for display of general information and in
