Ashling is an approved Synopsys Ecosystem partner and provides a range of hardware debug probes which support both JTAG Debug and Real-time Trace and are integrated into the MetaWare and GNU ARC Toolchains.
Ultra-XD for ARC Real‑time Trace
Ultra-XD is a powerful high-speed trace and run-time control debug probe for embedded development on Synopsys’ DesignWare ARC configurable RISC cores with the Real-time Trace extensions (RTT). Ultra-XD works with Synopsys’ MetaWare Debugger and IDE (MDB and MIDE) for advanced embedded system debugging and analysis and allows:
- Capture and viewing of program-flow and data-accesses in real-time, non-intrusively
- “Replaying” of captured trace information. Allows you to go back in time and debug from any captured point in the trace history
- Download program from host PC to target embedded system
- Exercise program in target (go, step, halt, breakpoints, interrogate memory, registers and variables)
In the first video you can watch Tom Pennello, Principal R&D Engineer at Synopsys explain how to use Ultra-XD for Trace Capture, Trace Filtering, Program Profiling and Trace Replay for single and multi-core based systems.
In the second video you can watch Hugh O’Keeffe, Ashling VP of Global Engineering presenting the Opella-XD and Ultra-XD for Synopsys ARC Debug and Trace.
