Design support for MPC5200 family processors
Trace32-PowerTools now provides support for the new MPC5200 family from Motorola.
Lauterbach Trace32-PowerTools have provided support for ARM cores ever since the introduction of this architecture.
The latest addition to the range is this new ARM7 based controller from Philips.
The debugger supports the compilers from Gnu, Greenhills, ARM, TI and IAR and also more than 20 different real-time operating systems.
Controlling the core over the JTAG interface the debugger can use the on-chip breakpoints and can also program the internal 128bit-wide Flash memory.
By using the Trace32-PowerTrace Ethernet and adding the ETM (embedded trace macrocell) trace capability it then becomes possible to capture the program flow from the ARM7 in real time.
This makes it possible to analyse code coverage in real time.
If the ETM FIFO should overflow causing a loss of data the system will even attempt to reconstruct the gaps in the trace.
The trace buffer depth is 64Mframe with a maximum sampling rate of 400MHz.
Each record is marked with a timestamp to a resolution of 20ns.
Debugging can be carried out at high level C and C++ or in assembly.
As would be expected of tools designed by the market leader they support all the many other functions needed by a developer such as an unlimited number of software breakpoints, complex breakpoints and triggers, a powerful scripting language and the display of internal and external peripherals at a logic level.
The unique CTS (context tracking system) provides a simple method for the user to analyse and understand complex trace situations.
