Trace32-PowerTools and the Trace32-Fire emulator from Lauterbach now support the latest controllers in the Freescale Star12x family integrating the X-Gate coprocessor Lauterbach's Trace32 PowerDebug modules, which can be connected to the host computer over a parallel port, USB or Ethernet, allow fast access to all internal chip units, such as on-chip hardware breakpoints, peripheral equipment, registers, EEPROM and Flash memory, over a BDM interface

No wait states for in-circuit emulator
Lauterbach now provides full support for the ST10F276 with its Trace32-Fire in-circuit emulator.
Debugger gains awareness of operating system
Microprocessor development tools from Lauterbach now provide kernel awareness for the Windows CE.net operating system from Microsoft.
This means that, for example, the entire memory, including the internal register and periphery, can be accessed in real time.
At the same time, it is easy to display the on-chip trace data in high-level language.
The Trace32-Fire in-circuit emulator also has a trace memory of up to 512,000 samples with powerful trigger and breakpoint logic.
Moreover, it provides a 1Mbyte memory, which can be used to emulate the internal Flash memory, as well as 4Mbyte address selectors and 4Mbyte of flag memory for code coverage analysis.
Both the debugger and the emulator support the full voltage range (3.3-5V) for this CPU family.
Using the Trace32-Fire emulator, the maximum clock frequency is 40MHz for real-time emulation.
Naturally, there are an unlimited number of software breakpoints and programmable internal EEPROM and Flash memories, and support for the most important C and C++ compilers is provided.
The PowerView user interface is identical for both systems, making it easy to use the two tools in alternation.
As optional support, PowerIntegrator is a high-speed, yet cost-effective logic analyser (that can sample 204 channels at sampling rates of up to 500MHz) and provides additional debug information.
