Next-Level Embedded Debugging
Deep OS Awareness and Virtual Memory Support
TRACE32® PowerView provides full visibility into operating system components and user applications, including support for MMUs and virtual memory – enabling efficient debugging in complex embedded environments.
Synchronized Source and Assembly Code View
PowerView maps the program counter to both machine code and high-level source code, giving developers precise insight into application state at every breakpoint.
Seamless Debugging for Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Multicore Systems
PowerView enables efficient debugging of SMP and AMP architectures — including simultaneous, cross-architecture multicore debugging.
Advanced Breakpoint and Trace Capabilities
PowerView enables complex breakpoints based on data values, memory access, or custom conditions. It also allows event counting for metrics like clock cycles, cache hits, and misses — essential for precise embedded debugging.
Hypervisor and Virtual Machine Debugging
TRACE32® PowerView delivers full hypervisor awareness, allowing you to inspect and control every VM, the hypervisor itself, and the underlying hardware — ideal for virtualized embedded systems.
Trace for Deep System Insights
Streaming
Capture long-term trace data by streaming it directly to your host PC. High-speed transfer ensures reliable, loss-free analysis in PowerView.
Context Tracking System (CTS)
TRACE32’s CTS recreates the full system state for trace-based debugging in PowerView — even filling most gaps caused by limited bandwidth.
Timing Diagram
PowerView displays function execution and interruptions with precise timestamps, showing what interrupts occur and when.
Statistical Analysis
PowerView lets you analyze recurring events like function calls, interrupts, and tasks, showing min, max, and average execution times for each.
Code Coverage
PowerView offers non-invasive code coverage analysis using trace modules—no instrumentation needed, preserving the program’s runtime behavior.
Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Multicore Tracing
PowerView captures and analyzes program flow, task switches, and core data simultaneously with greater detail than other tools, supporting both SMP and AMP systems.
Executed Instructions
PowerView shows machine-level instructions with timestamps and links them directly to the corresponding source code for easy reference.
Merge Program Flow with Logic Analyzer Signals
Signal-to-Code Correlation
PowerView offers extensive tracking and cross-correlation between logic signals and program flow, enabling detailed analyses like best/worst case latencies and signal-to-software timing.
Unified User Interface
PowerView lets you control all tools from a single interface, cutting training time and boosting productivity by keeping your focus on the task—not on managing multiple tools.
Energy Profiling
PowerView correlates recorded current and voltage with program execution, helping you identify code sections with minimum, average, and maximum power consumption for optimized energy efficiency.
Protocol Analysis
PowerView supports built-in analysis of standard protocols like ASYNC (RS232), CAN, I2C, I2S, SPI, JTAG, and SWD, with the option to add custom protocol support.
