Trace32 supports new Aurix generation
Lauterbach’s Trace32 development tools now also support Infineon’s newest Aurix microcontrollers including the high-end TC4x series. Trace32 support includes simultaneous debugging of all TriCore CPU cores as well as non-intrusive CPU trace capture.
The Aurix TC4x family is the 3rd generation of the Infineon multi-core microcontroller platform for automotive real-time applications in powertrain, chassis applications, safety applications, and advanced driver assistance systems. This next generation of the Aurix platform delivers increased compute performance through the TriCore 1.8 multi-core architecture and increased clock frequencies up to 500 MHz. It provides fully lock-step operation for ASIL-D safety level as well as CPU virtualization and system virtualization.
Lauterbach’s Trace32 enables hardware-accelerated debugging and real-time tracing of all the TriCore and other cores like PPU and GTM implemented in Aurix TC4x; a unique capability to cover the whole system. Trace32 tools consist of the universal »PowerView« debugging and tracing software as well as debug and trace accelerator modules. While Lauterbach’s intelligent PowerDebug modules provide the highest available download speeds and smallest response times for efficient debugging and test automation, PowerTrace real-time trace modules provide full insights of what the CPUs and other cores of an Aurix system are doing without impacting its real-time performance in any way.
Thanks to Lauterbach's hypervisor and OS awareness technology, even virtualized environments can be examined safely and without restrictions. Trace analysis including code coverage measurements can support in bringing embedded designs to market faster, safer, and more reliably. Lauterbach’s Trace32 enables developers of high-end devices to evolve applications based on Aurix TC4x microcontrollers, even faster and easier.
