J-Trace PRO Cortex: USB 3.0 SuperSpeed streaming trace on Cortex-A, Cortex-R and Cortex-M

SEGGER introduces J-Trace PRO Cortex, the new flagship J-Trace streaming trace probe model, capable of supporting streaming trace from Cortex-A, Cortex-R, and Cortex-M targets. In addition to the Gigabit Ethernet interface, it now comes with a USB 3 SuperSpeed interface which is capable of transferring trace data in real time to the host even at full trace clock speeds. The host software is able to store, analyze and visualize the data in real time over unlimited periods of time, supporting the full bandwidth of the target interface of up to 1.2 GBit/s.

The host software is able to store, analyze and visualize the data in real time over unlimited periods of time, supporting the full bandwidth of the target interface of up to 1.2 GBit/s.

J-Trace PRO Cortex uses Ozone, the fully featured graphical debug and performance analyzer for embedded applications. Ozone is an advanced professional debug and verification application, that can use ELF files produced by any EABI-compliant tool such as SEGGER Embedded Studio, Eclipse/GCC, IAR Embedded Workbench or Keil/ARM MDK, to debug and analyze at the source level. Ozone provides real-time code profiling and real-time code coverage in combination with the streaming trace technology of the J-Trace PRO Cortex.

It takes less than 15 minutes to get up running with the new trace probe, as it ships with a Cortex-M target hardware, with ELF file and project for Embedded Studio readily available.

“Debugging and verification tools have progressed significantly in the past couple of years. We believe that the combination of Ozone and J-Trace PRO is the best trace solution in the industry. Code profiling of a running system provides instant, accurate performance measurements rather than the optimistic ‘ideal’ results from a simulated environment. With J-Trace and Ozone such systems are quick to set up and define the user experience: It simply works!” says Alex Gruener, CTO at SEGGER Microcontroller.

SEGGER announces embOS-Safe, the SIL 3 certified RTOS for safety-critical applications

“Certification is vital to many safety applications. embOS-Safe provides developers with a comprehensive tool to match their safety and reliability requirements,” says Til Stork, embOS Product Manager at SEGGER. “embOS is now certified according to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and IEC 62304 Class C, and it simply works!”

embOS, SEGGER’s signature RTOS, is known for its small footprint, performance, reliability and intuitive API, and has been proven for more than twenty years in commercial applications.

By popular demand, a certified version is now available for safety-critical applications.

Certified by TÜV SÜD, embOS-Safe complies with the functional safety standards IEC 61508 SIL 3 and IEC 62304 Class C (medical devices).

The certification highlights the high-quality standards of SEGGER’s development processes, now making it even easier to use embOS in safety-critical key market segments such as medical, automotive, aviation and home appliances.

Customers requiring embOS-Safe gain access to a proven, reliable solution with all embOS key features, including multi-tasking, comprehensive communication and synchronization services, along with full memory protection.

embOS-Safe is provided with a certification kit containing all necessary documents, including the comprehensive embOS safety manual, making it easy to integrate it into your application, even for applications that have not taken advantage of an RTOS before.

embOS-Safe is further complemented in safety-critical environments by SEGGER’s leading cross-platform IDE Embedded Studio, the proven embOS/IP and emUSB communication stacks, the bullet-proof file system emFile and the industry-standard graphics package emWin, as well as the J-Link debug probes and Flasher production tools.

IEC 61508 is the standard for functional safety and is referenced in multiple derived standards.

embOS certifications according to other standards, including ISO 26262 for automotive devices, can consequently also be done easily.

Prevent Cybercrime Inside Your Company

The security threat posed by insiders is often underestimated. According to an IBM study, 32% of attackers are insiders and 24% are “inadvertent actors” (e.g. people making mistakes that lead to a system breach or incorrect behavior.) One such class of insider attack is malicious code added during development that allows for future exploitation.

Advanced static analysis tools such as CodeSonar can detect these within source and binary code before they get shipped to customers.
In addition to existing detection for security vulnerabilities, this paper also talks about specific security vulnerability checks to detect certain insider attacks.

SYSGO & Vector: Joined forces for a future oriented software platform

We are happy to announce that Vector Informatik GmbH, located in Stuttgart (Germany), and SYSGO AG have founded a joint venture for the development of embedded software. The aim of the cooperation is to create an integrated software platform consisting of the AUTOSAR Adaptive basic software MICROSAR and the real-time operating system PikeOS.

The combined expertise of both companies will provide ECU developers with an ideal solution for the new generation of high-performance ECUs based on the AUTOSAR Adaptive Standard. The joint development includes measures for the effective interaction between the PikeOS operating system and the AUTOSAR Adaptive basic software.

Please find some more details about that joint venture here

Debuggaa virtualisoitua ohjelmistoa

Lauterbachilla debuggaat yhdellä istunnolla virtualisoitua ohjelmistoa. Pystyt samanaikaisesti näkemään sovellusprosessien, guest-käyttöjärjestelmien ja hypervisorin muisteihin. Vikatilanteen tutkimiseksi voit esim. asettaa breakpointin mihin alueelle tahansa ja pysäyttää koko prosessorin. Keräämällä trace-dataa näet käskytarkasti millä alueilla prosessori on suorittanut ennen pysähdystä. [Lue lisää]

Staattisella analyysillä luotettavuutta

Teollisuuden mittalaitteisiin ja valvontaan erikoistunut suomalainen Labkotec otti käyttöönsä CodeSonar® -analyysityökalun, koska heidän järjestelmänsä vaatii erityistä luotettavuutta. [Lue referenssitarina]

Case Story: Teollisuuden mittalaitteilta vaaditaan luotettavuutta

“Erityisesti CodeSonar® paikansi muistivuotoja, jotka voivat aiheuttaa ohjelmiston ennustamatonta toimintaa”, kertoo Jouni Lunden.

Why is Lauterbach your favorite tool?

“-The Best feature about Lauterbach is the way it’s able to handle and present tracedata. If you have the ability to use trace, you should absolutely do so. The way that Lauterbach handles tracedata is exceptional and I can’t say there is any better tool to find bugs with. To be able to have the Trace chart with symbols(left), the trace data(middle) and the source code(right) in track-mode, which means when you click in a window the other two will follow to that line of code. This makesit very easy to see what have happen and find if there was any unwanted behavior.

With Lauterbach it’s also possible to use CTS (Context Tracking System) i.e. debug your tracedata. In CTS mode you have the possibility to step backwards in your code and see each state of the system how it changes.” /Björn Skånberg, FAE, Nohau Solutions AB
