[FR] Add support for Keil RTX

[augustozanellato]

Hi,
it would be nice to have support for Keil's RTX RTOS, it's used in MBED OS which has a considerable user base.
Best Regards,
Augusto

Maybe will find a volunteer. I know nothing of RTX. To do this, you have to know the internals of the RTOS and available options. It is not just something we can do quickly or on a whim.

Maybe @thegecko could find a volunteer for us.

No worries, I imagine it is non trivial to do. I just logged an issue here in the hope someone knowledgeable about it volunteers its time to implement it.

@jkrech Keil RTX support would be a great addition to this library, what do you think?

The essential knowledge should be all in here:
https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/blob/develop/CMSIS/RTOS2/RTX/RTX5.scvd
The SCVD format is explained here: https://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS-View/main/SCVD_Format.html
Not sure how easy it is to port.

It would be nice to have RTX5.
I'm not sure how to add it, even with .scvd files. How this extension even works? @jkrech

Okay, I will put this in my TODO list.

Added support for Arm/RTX5 Threads.
PR #76

[jreineckearm]

@haneefdm , @PhilippHaefele , we are working with the team at Arm that developed RTX5. And we would be very much interested in contributing support for it to this extension. In fact, @thorstendb-ARM already opened a PR. :-)

We followed feedback from other open RTOS support PRs. But probably still owe you a test example. See #76 .
Is there anything else we should prepare to bring RTX5 support in? Any other hint/guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks, Jens
