Published Feb 21 2006 [Printer friendly version] [Email article to a friend] [More Test & Measurement articles]
The latest addition to its popular ARM debug probe product line, the
hardware debug trace device IAR J-Trace, has been announced by IAR Systems.
IAR J-Trace supports all ARM7 and ARM9 devices with ETM (Embedded Trace
Macrocell), connects to the host computer via full-speed USB 2.0 in a small
and convenient package, and provides a 2 Mbytes trace buffer.
The cost-effective system is fully supported by IAR Embedded Workbench for
ARM, IAR Systems' integrated development environment with C/C++ compiler and
debugger tools. It also works as a standard JTAG-debugger through a separate
JTAG-port. ARM developers world-wide can now get a full-featured
development suite including advanced trace functionality at an affordable
price, says the company.
The company believes it provides the leading development system for all
developers on ARM-based microcontrollers with the integrated development
environment IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, which includes extremely
optimizing C and C++ compilers, and the advanced C-SPY Debugger. Since its
introduction, the JTAG hardware debug probe IAR J-Link has helped thousands
of developers resolve issues in their development on ARM-based MCUs, at the
same time allowing full development and debugging to be carried out from
within IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, says the company.
With the introduction of IAR J-Trace, the company now offers advanced
high-end debug opportunities for all developers on ARM-based MCUs equipped
with the ETM at an attractive price point. IAR J-Trace is fully Windows
plug-and-play compatible, and the C-SPY Debugger is enhanced with dedicated
trace debug features to make most of the 2 Mbyte trace memory buffer in IAR
J-Trace. As IAR J-Trace also comes with a standard JTAG-port, it is the only
ARM debugger hardware required for almost any developer, says the company.
