Blue Box Technology

Majority of our products are based on providing a link between an embedded system and the host PC. Depending on the target CPU architecture this can be an On-Chip Debugger, an On-Chip Debugger + Advanced Trace or an In-Circuit Emulator. A modular approach allows reuse of the tool in another configuration. Our tools support 50 different CPU architectures (Arm, Freescale, Atmel, NXP, Micronas….), 2000+ microcontrollers (Arm7, Arm9, S12x, Cortex, 68HC12, SH-2A, Coldfire Tricore ..), 150 compilers (Cosmic, Freescale, Introl, IAR)
