All-in-one debug and trace solution for ARM Cortex-M processors

In response to the breakthrough of Cortex-M processors into the embedded market, Lauterbach has developed a new all-in-one debug and trace solution, which will be launched in August 2013. Lauterbach has extended their portfolio with a new product called µTrace, designed specifically for the ARM Cortex-M family.

Through the TRACE32 PowerView debug environment, Lauterbach's µTrace system provides developers with the familiar user interface for debugging and tracing.

By using simple and complex breakpoints the developer can control the operation of the program and analyze the data in C and C++. The tool supports accesses to memory and peripherals during program runs.

µTrace uses USB3 connection to the host and can connect to the target via JTAG, serial wire debug or cJTAG (IEEE 1149.7) and is supplied with adaptors for 10/20/34 pin half size and 14/20 pin JTAG connectors.

Many other adaptors are also available for use with standard development boards. When used in tracing mode the tool has an internal 256Mbyte memory buffer but it can also be set to stream data to the host if the user needs to collect the program flow data for longer periods.

The µTrace uses a new, compact design which is different to the traditional Lauterbach approach of making systems modular and expandable but the result is a more attractive system cost.
