Ashling's Emulators, Debuggers and Trace systems for Freescale (Motorola) PowerPC
Ashling's Vitra, Genia, Opella and PathFinder development tools support development on Freescale (Motorola) PowerPC Microprocessors.
Developed with the co-operation of Freescale (Motorola) Semiconductors, Ashling's products provide powerful, up-to-date tools for developing systems based on the latest PowerPC technology.
The full range of Ashling development tools provide Source Debugging, runtime control and Real-Time Trace based on PowerPC NEXUS and BDM on-chip debug modules.
Product Descriptions
PathFinder
Source Debugger (full PathFinder Datasheet)
Powerful Source Debugger for PowerPC, based on Ashling's uniquely powerful
PathFinder user-interface. PathFinder works with the full range of Vitra,
Genia and Opella Emulators. Support is provided for all popular Compilers
for the PowerPC architecture.
Vitra
Networked Emulator and Real-Time Trace (full
Vitra Datasheet 
)
- Very powerful Networked Real-Time Emulator and Trace for PowerPC development
- Complete environment for development, debugging, optimization and testing for performance-critical PowerPC applications that need Instruction Trace debugging
- Trace memory available in 64K-frames to 512K-frames options (each frame is 128 bits wide)
- Extensive configurable triggers and trace, including External Trigger Out, External Trigger In and External Data Trace controls for Logic Analyzer-style execution display
- Remote debugging via TCP/IP
- Provides program-load, run, halt, hardware and software breakpoints, register display and modify, and Source-level Debugging
- Supports multi-processor and coprocessor debugging
- Connects to host PC using an Ethernet, RS232 or USB connection
- Operates on PowerPC systems that incorporate NEXUS or BDM on-chip debug modules.
