Hardware Debug and Trace Probes

Ashling have over thirty years’ experience in developing tools for embedded systems engineers including high-speed Debug and Trace Probes supporting a broad range of MCUs, SoCs and Soft (FPGA) based designs. We have developed “best-in-class” probes for several different vendors based on the following on-chip debug and trace standards:

  • JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) and cJTAG (IEEE 1149.7).
  • IEEE-ISTO Nexus 5001 Trace.
  • MIPI Alliance Debug.
  • Arm CoreSight™ including Serial Wire Debug (SWD), JTAG, Trace (ETM, STM, PTM etc.) and Cross Triggering (CTI).
  • RISC-V Debug and Trace (including both IEEE-ISTO Nexus 5001 and E-Trace standards).
  • Synopsys ARC cJTAG/SWD/JTAG and IEEE-ISTO Nexus 5001 Trace.
  • MIPS EJTAG, PCTRACE, PDTRACE and OCI Debug.

Opella-XD Debug Probe

All Ashling Hardware Debug and Trace Probes work with RiscFree™, Ashling’s Eclipse-CDT based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Debugger. GNU GDB and other third-party debuggers are also supported. Contact Ashling for more details.

Ashling Debug Probes

Ashling Debug Probes include the high-performance Opella-XD and the entry-level, OpenOCD compliant, Opella-LD. Both probes provide a universal hardware platform for all popular target architectures including Arm, MIPS, RISC-V and Synopsys ARC & ARC-V and support multi-core heterogeneous and homogeneous debug.

Ashling Trace Probes

Vitra-XS is Ashling’s Debug & Trace Probe for embedded development with support for multiple target architectures including RISC-V, Arm and Synopsys ARC & ARC-V powered systems.
