PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme has not only expanded the latest version of its Universal Debug Engine (UDE) with a number of additional trace and debugging functions, but has also added completely new features for test automation.

PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme presents Version 4.5 of its Universal Debug Engine (UDE), providing an optimised testing and debugging environment for the first Cortex-M7 core-based MCU of STMicroelectronics STM32F7 series. The STM32F7 series MCUs not only feature a Cortex-M7 core that operates at up to 216MHz, but also up to 1MB embedded Flash, 320KB SRAM and high-performance peripheral units (graphic accelerator, Ethernet, USB and ...

As a result of many years of close partnership with STMicroelectronics, PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme is already able to offer the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) 4.4.6, a sophisticated and proven debugging and testing solution, for the first samples of STMicroelectronics' latest SPC58 E-line in its multi-core automotive MCU family.

  Providing developers with an optimised testing and debugging environment for Infineon’s XMC4700/XMC4800 MCUs, Version 4.4.5 of the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) has been released by PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme.

 Version 4.4.3 of its Universal Debug Engine (UDE), which provides an optimised testing and debugging environment especially for the Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC family of devices has been ingtroduced by PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme. The All Programmable SoCs of the Xilinx Zynq-7000 family of devices combine for the first time dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 architecture with the functionality of complex Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) on ...

  As debuggers can now provide extensive and often very effective graphics processing of huge amounts of data, could they replace oscilloscopes and logic analysers? By Jens Braunes, Software Architect, PLS Development Tools.

PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme’s Universal Debug Engine (UDE) 4.4 will make an Embedded World 2015 debut in Nuremberg next month (Feb 24-26). The UDE 4.4 features significantly enhanced debugging procedures for complex system-on-chips (SoCs) with heterogeneous controller cores, optimised data visualisation in system-level debugging as well as dedicated support of a wide range of state-of-the-art 32-bit multicore SoCs of different m...

The PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme 4.3.4 version of its Universal Debug Engine (UDE) is an optimised test and debug tool for the new Infineon TLE986x and TLE987x Embedded Power IC series.  The Embedded Power family was specifically designed for intelligent motor control in a wide range of automotive applications. The devices come in a standard QFN package with a footprint of only 7 mm x 7 mm.

LieberLieber Software and PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme will present their continuous tool chain for the testing and debugging of embedded software on the model level at the Embedded Software Engineering Congress 2014 in Sindelfingen, Germany (Dec 1-5). The tool enables developers using Enterprise Architect (EA) to develop model-based embedded software will also be able to test and debug their work directly in the model, saving time whe...

Following the launch by Freescale of its latest Qorivva derivates, PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme is providing system developers with its Universal Debug Engine (UDE) for the multicore System-on-Chips (SoCs) MPC5746M, MPC5777M, MPC5748G, MPC5746C, MPC77xK and MPC574xP. PLS is one of the first tool suppliers to offer development tools specifically optimised for the features and functions of these multicore SoCs.

PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme and Razorcat have a range of optimised, so-called Tool Qualification Packages (TQPs) for the TESSY test platform for various architectures and cross compilers. These TQPs will in future allow embedded system developers even easier and more reliable automated testing of application software written in the programming language C.

Tests directly on target hardware with PikeTec‘s TPT model-based software tool are now possible as a result of coupling with the PLS (Programmierbare Logik & Systeme) Universal Debug Engine (UDE). The UDE provides the necessary functionality such as connection to the target system, FLASH programming, process control and reading and writing programme data etc. via the standard Component Object Model (COM) interface.

At embedded World 2014, PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme will exhibit their Universal Debug Engine (UDE) 4.2 at Booth 4 310, Hall 4. Further to offering support for a range of 32-bit multicore SoCs, the UDE 4.2 also boasts enhanced control and test methods for multicore targets and optimized visualization options during system level testing.

PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme is exhibiting the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) 4.2 at embedded world 2014 (Feb 25-27) in Nuremberg. The UDE 4.2 features enhanced control and test methods for multicore targets, optimised visualisation options during system level testing as well as dedicated support for a wide range of the latest 32-bit multicore SoCs from various manufacturers.

The demands placed on embedded software development systems have increased significantly in recent years. This is particularly apparent in the test and debugging sectors. Extremely high-performance, multi-core System-on-Chips (SoCs), which integrate an increasing number of functions, require radical rethinking in several aspects. By Heiko Riessland, Product Manager with PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme.
