Lauterbach have released full support for the Texas Instrument OMAP family of processors which use enhanced ARM925 or ARM926 combined with the TMS320C55x DSP cores These processors are finding wide acceptance in applications as diverse as web pads, Telematics, medical systems and the latest mobile phones

The Trace32 debugger brings its world leading multicore debug capability to provide exact start/stop synchronisation for both cores and support for on-chip trace, all of this from a system that can be used in dual or single core modes.

Debugging can be carried out at high level C and C++ or in assembly with awareness of all the RTOSs that are commonly used with these cores.

By using the ETM trace capability of the OMAP cores up to 64M frames of program trace can be captured from any of the optional ETM modes.

The system will even attempt to reconstruct gaps in the trace in the event of an ETM FIFO overflow causing loss of data.

Combining this with the high-speed download capability of over 1000Kbyte/s the tools provide the developer with true state of the art interface to their host system.

Of course the tools support all the many other functions needed by a developer such as flash programming, complex breakpoints and triggers, a powerful script language and display of internal and external peripherals at a logic level.
