REAL-TIME TRACE FOR ARM CORES
MOORPARK, CA –
November 3, 2004 – Signum Systems announces JTAGjet emulator with ETM
real-time trace buffer for the ARM7 and ARM9 cores. The new JTAGjet-Trace
emulator from Signum Systems supports all devices based on the popular ARM7
and ARM9 cores equipped with the Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM).
JTAGjet-Trace allows to capture into its trace buffer a detailed CPU
execution path as well as data transactions in real-time for devices running
as fast as 400 MHz. The trace memory on the JTAGjet-Trace comes in sizes
ranging from 256K to 4M of 36-bit trace frames with each frame recorded with
a time-stamp to allow cycle accurate timing analysis of the recorded data.
JTAGjet-Trace fully supports all ETM modes including up to 16 hardware
address triggers (or 8 address ranges), 8 data value triggers, 3-level
sequencer, four 16-bit event counters and external trigger I/O. Trace
information may be filtered in real-time to allow only the relevant
information to be stored in the trace buffer. Once captured the information
may be further filtered to make the process of finding and identifying
captured information faster and easier. Connection to target is via a
flexible 8-in cable terminated with a standard 38-pin Mictor connector.
JTAGjet-Trace is a small, palm sized unit which features USB 2.0
connection to a Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP hosted PC. Being very portable
and with effective code download speeds of over 1 Mbytes per second, the new
JTAGjet-Trace emulator/debugger fills the growing need for a
high-performance, low-cost development systems for the ARM based devices.
JTAGjet-Trace comes with Signum Systems’ Multi-Core Chameleon Debugger to
provide full, real-time control and visibility of the program’s behavior in
RAM, ROM or Flash targets in a single-core or multi-core SoC environments.
JTAGjet has been verified with many third-party, RDI compliant debuggers,
including: ARM Ltd. ADS and RealView, MetroWerks CodeWarrior, Nucleus EDGE,
Mentor Graphics XRAY, eSOL eBinder, IAR Embedded Workbench and Palm
Universal Debugger, but should support any RDI compliant third party
debugger. JTAGjet is also compatible with Texas Instruments Code Composer
Studio debugger for the OMAP and TMS470 devices as well as GNU GDB
debuggers.
JTAGjet-Trace with Chameleon Debugger for all ARM7 and ARM9 cores are
available now. Prices start at $3,500 for a complete system with 256K frame
deep trace memory. For further information call Signum Systems at (800)
