RISC-V Debugging & Tracing
Debugger and trace solution compatible with RISC-V cores.
◆Strengths of TRACE32 in RISC-V Development The RISC-V architecture is highly attractive because it can be flexibly deployed according to scale and performance, ranging from RV32 (32-bit) microcontrollers to RV64 (64-bit) application processors. With TRACE32, you can support a wide range from small RISC-V microcontrollers to large multi-core SoCs. It provides a highly reliable and precise debugging and tracing environment for the increasingly complex RISC-V development. ◆What TRACE32 Can Do - Support for multi-core and heterogeneous core environments - Even in SoC configurations that include multiple RISC-V cores, simultaneous control and analysis can be performed through a single debugging interface. - Not only RISC-V cores but also cores from other architectures (e.g., ARM) can be supported simultaneously. - Enhanced tracing capabilities - Compatible with various trace systems dedicated to RISC-V (e.g., SiFive Nexus, RISC-V Trace Encoder, etc.) - Supports both on-chip and off-chip → Real-time recording of program flow for "visualization." - Effective for analyzing execution timing, interrupts, performance evaluation, and bug identification!
basic information
◆Basic Debugging System Consists of the debugger PowerDebug and the DebugProbe for target connection. ☆PowerDebug -PowerDebugE40 (Entry model) -PowerDebugX50 (High-end model) ☆DebugProbe - Prepared for each target architecture. - Supports multi-core debugging (SMP, AMP, or a mix of both) - Unmatched breakpoint support - Supports OS-aware debugging, hypervisor-aware debugging, and AUTOSAR-aware debugging ◆Trace Extension You can extend PowerDebug to add tracing functionality to the basic debugging features. Three products are available: ‐PowerTraceIII : Parallel trace ‐PowerTrace Serial2 : High-speed serial trace ‐CombiProbe2 : Simple trace ◆Logic Analyzer Extension ☆ In addition to trace extension, it can simultaneously capture external digital signals. ‐ Since trace signals and logic signals can be analyzed synchronously, it is also effective for investigating hardware/software cooperation.
