RH850 Aurora Active Probe

RH850  Aurora  Active  Probe

  -  Enables  debugging,  tracing  and  testing  of  Renesas  RH850

microcontroller  families.  Besides  the  standard  LPD  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
10 m 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
isystem.com/winideaide.

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 isystem.com/sdk.

iSYSTEM's solutions run under Microsoft® Windows®, GNU, Linux OS; or optionally within the
Eclipse environment via a plugin. Software can be downloaded from the Downloads  page  at
