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.

Detailed information
-
PowerDebug E40 An entry-level debugger unit. It provides powerful performance to support simple and complex debugging tasks. Connects to the Host PC via USB 3.0.
-
PowerDebug X51 A high-end model debugger. It is a high-performance, modular debugging controller with great future potential. Off-chip trace expansion is possible. It can be connected to the Host PC via USB 3.0 or Ethernet (2.5 Gbit/s).
-
DebugProbe A debug probe for RISC-V. Available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Connects to the debugger (E40 or X51) and is used for connection with the target device. Enables basic debugging. An optional adapter is available for converting different connector shapes.
-
PowerTrace III is a trace expansion module. The connection to the device will be parallel. It also supports high-speed serial tracing such as Aurola/HSSTP. The built-in trace memory is 8 GByte. It is also possible to stream trace data to the Host PC. It is used by connecting to the expansion port of the X51 debugger.
-
PowerTrace Serial2 is a trace expansion module. The connection to the device is via high-speed serial. It supports Aurola/HSSTP/PCIe Gen2/3/4. The built-in trace memory is 8GB. It is also possible to stream trace data to the Host PC. It is used by connecting to the expansion port of the X51 debugger.
-
CombiProbe2 is an extended module with a maximum of 4-bit parallel simple tracing. The built-in trace memory is 512MByte. It is also possible to stream trace data to the Host PC. It is used by connecting to the debug controller E40 or X51.
-
Parallel preprocessor for Arm/Cortex. It is inserted between the trace module and the target during parallel trace connection, adding data shaping and timestamps during tracing. It is used in conjunction with devices like PowerTraceIII.
-
Arm/Cortex Serial Preprocessor inserts between the trace module and the target during serial trace connection, shaping the data and adding timestamps during tracing. It is used in conjunction with devices like PowerTrace Serial2.
