MPC5x/SPC5x Aurora Active Probe

MPC5x/SPC5x  Aurora  Active  Probe

  -  Enables  the  debugging,  tracing  and  testing  of  NXP

MPC5xxx, NXP S32R and ST SPC5 microcontroller families. Besides the standard JTAG debug
interface  it  supports  also  a  high-speed  Aurora  trace  interface  operating  at  its  maximum
frequency.    Its  small  and  compact  hardware  size  allows  for  connecting  to  a  target
microcontroller in a confined space  as  far  as  5m  away.  The  Active  Probe  supports  up  to  4
Aurora lanes, running at a maximum bitrate of 5Gbps.

iC5700 BlueBox On-Chip Analyzer

 

- Hardware platform designed for debugging and testing  a

wide range of embedded microcontroller platforms that are  based  on  a  variety  of  processor
architectures. 
Functionality can be further extended with the addition of our IOM6 Accessories, enabling the
synchronous  capture  of  analog  and  digital  signals  in  parallel  to  trace  information.  Such
capability is used for advanced debugging of complex applications together with our winIDEA
Integration Development Environment (IDE), as well as for thorough testing in conjunction with
our testing environment testIDEA.

winIDEA 

- Integration Development Environment (IDE) delivers the visual insights required to

debug  your  embedded  application.  At  the  simplest  level,  winIDEA  provides  all  the  usual
functionality  of  an  IDE  (breakpoints,  stepping  and  device  programming).  Supported  by  a
target  microcontroller,  winIDEA  can  also  visualize  the  timing  and  code  coverage  of  the
application via the trace interface, as well as combine data captured by the IOM6 accessories.
Various third-parties also provide software  tools  to  perform  advanced  worst-time-execution
analysis  based  upon  the  data  winIDEA  can  export.  When  a  Real-Time  Operating  System
(RTOS) is in use, the state of the RTOS and its tasks can also be visualized. More information

testIDEA

  -  testIDEA  environment  simplifies  the  development  of  unit  tests  for  embedded

applications. By making use of the winIDEA environment,  this  application  makes  it  easy  to
locate source code functions and generate test cases for them. Tests are then executed using
the  Original  Binary  Code  (OBC)  method,  testing  the  object  code  running  on  the  target
microcontroller. The tests, which are stored as YAML files, can easily  be  added  to  a  project,
maintained  in  a  repository,  and  then  automatically  executed  together  with  Continuous
Integration (CI) tools such as Jenkins. More information isystem.com/testidea.

isystem.connect 

- There are times when it is more efficient to write a script to execute a task

that  requires  many  clicks  within  a  visual  development  environment.  This  is  where  our
Software Development Kit  (SDK)  isystem.connect  comes  in.  The  well-documented  interface
provides access to  Python,  Java,  and  other  languages  so  that  any  action  available  within
winIDEA  and  testIDEA  can  be  scripted.  Scripts  can  also  be  executed  directly  from  within
winIDEA,  thereby  allowing  the  developer  to  extend  its  functionality.  More  information

within the Eclipse environment through a plug-in. All our software can be downloaded from the
