USB Debugging for Embedded Systems
TRACE32 enables full-featured debug and trace capabilities over USB, supporting a range of silicon IP solutions that eliminate the need for physical access to the target board. By leveraging a USB connection between the host PC and the target device, developers gain low-level access to embedded systems — even when direct interaction with the PCB is not possible. This approach offers a flexible, high-performance alternative to traditional debugging interfaces, ideal for secure or hard-to-reach environments.
TRACE32 Instruction Set Simulator – Develop Without Hardware
The TRACE32 Instruction Set Simulator allows developers to write, run, and test embedded application code without relying on physical target hardware. Integrated directly into the TRACE32 PowerView software, this simulator provides a flexible, hardware-independent environment for early-stage development and functional testing. A trial version is also available for evaluation, making it easy to explore its capabilities for simulation-based embedded software development.
TRACE32® PowerView – Unified Debug and Trace Interface
TRACE32® PowerView is the comprehensive graphical user interface for all TRACE32 debug and trace operations. It serves as the central platform for managing any supported hardware or software-based debug solution, across a wide range of target architectures. Whether you're working with embedded processors, multi-core systems, or software-only environments, PowerView delivers a consistent, powerful interface for efficient embedded development and real-time analysis.
Debugger for Simulators, Emulators, and Virtual Targets
TRACE32 provides seamless debug support for simulators, emulators, and virtual targets, making it ideal for early-stage development and system validation. By using the same intuitive user interface and scripting language across all platforms, developers can create reusable debug scripts that remain consistent throughout the entire product lifecycle — from simulation and prototyping to real hardware testing and field deployment. This unified approach streamlines workflows and accelerates time-to-market.
Debugging ECUs via XCP for Automotive Development
TRACE32 supports advanced ECU debugging over XCP (Universal Measurement and Calibration Protocol), enabling seamless software debugging in parallel with engine calibration processes. Ideal for automotive embedded development, this solution allows real-time access to the ECU without interfering with calibration workflows. Integrated into the TRACE32 PowerView environment, developers benefit from powerful features such as multicore debugging, operating system awareness, and on-chip trace — all accessible through the same intuitive interface.
