winIDEA Integrated Development Environment (IDE and Debugger)

Trace is a functionality of an emulator and on-chip debugger with trace support to record and document CPU buses (if a bond out chip is available)

• Message based trace information (such as NEXUS, ETM for 32 bit microcontroller)

• External AUX lines

• Time stamps

• Synchronous to the CPU's execution

It is the base functionality for

• Program Execution & Data Trace

• Performance Analysis (Function and Data Profiling)

• Code & Data Coverage

Usage

• Tracing of hard real-time events to verify against the appropriate time requirements

• Tracing of sporadically/intermittent program errors

Benefits

• Non-intrusive (without influencing the real-time behavior of an application)

• Verification of non-functional requirements (such as time constraints)

• Save sessions

• Report/Export format HTML, XML, and text

• Remote control and automate sessions with iSYSTEM’s API

Profiler (or Performance Analyzer) is a functionality of an emulator on on-chip debugger with trace support to record and document

• Entries and exists of profiled functions (function profiler)

• Data accesses (data profiler)

Usage

• Performance tuning to find bottlenecks within an application

• Get an idea about a functions

• total execution time

• minimum, maximum and average execution time

• number of execution

• Task performance and sequence of activation using a real-time OS

• Off-line operation mode (analysis after trace buffer is full)

• Real-time operation mode (analysis while recording, endless)

Benefits

• Identify performance bottlenecks

• Analyze and optimize task switching

• Save sessions

• Report/Export format HTML, XML, and text

• Remote control and automate sessions with iSYSTEM’s API

Code Coverage is a functionality of an emulator and on-chip debugger with trace support to record and document

• All addresses being executed while an application is running

• Execution coverage (statement and decision)

• All addresses being accessed during program execution

• Access Coverage

Usage

• Statement coverage

• Decision coverage (analysis conditional instructions)

• Off-line operation mode (analysis after trace buffer is full)

• Real-time operation mode (statement coverage only, analysis while recording, endless)

• Object code level

Benefits

• Non-instrumented

• Measure the quality of test cases

• Identify “dead” code

• Detect non-initialized variables

• Monitor stack consumption on an application

• Coverage sessions over a long period of time depending on the mode

• Save, and restart coverage sessions

• Report/Export format in HTML, XML, and text

• Remote control and automate coverage sessions with iSYSTEM’s API
