To run xrtic just type on your first (non root) window and from the rtic-*.*.*/bin directory:
cd bin ./xrtic &
You will see a small console with several buttons. Click on ``Connect'' to connect to your embedded system. You will see the run-time, status registers, update factor, run-time frequency, and status messages appear in your xterm. At this point, you are now fully connected to the embedded tasks and can now send commands to it.
From here, you can RUN or STOP your embedded tasks. You can also set
several of the run-time parameters via the OPTIONS button. You can
RESET the boards, and you can also QUIT out of xrtic. However,
be advised that quitting out of xrtic does not imply that your
embedded code will automatically stop running. Rather, quitting out
of xrtic will only prevent you from monitoring and commanding
your real time tasks. The real time tasks will continue running as
long as either ``rtic.o'' is in kernel memory, or the user does not
hit the ``STOP'' button, or the second timeout (optional) has not
kicked in.
