Active Probes

To ensure that as much information as possible is available at your fingertips, the IOM6 Hub can be used to increase the number of FNet ports on the  iC5700 BlueBox by 4. Now you can combine our CAN/LIN data capture, analog and digital capture and control, and debug and trace all from one central hardware tool via our Active Probes:

• Active Probe Debug
• Infineon DAP/DAPE II
• Infineon SGBT (HSTCU)
• Infineon AGBT
• ARM HSSTP II
• MPC5x/SPC5X Aurora
• RH850 Aurora

In addition, iSYSTEM added an FBridge port to the IOM6 Hub. Through the FBridge port run/stop control of two iC5700 can be synchronized. 1m long FBridge (Ethernet alike) cable comes along the IOM6 HUB and connects to the FBridge port on each iC5700.

By connecting two Active Probes to the IOM6 Hub of the iC5700 BlueBox, it is possible to synchronously control (run/stop) these two Active Probes. This is how, for instance, two applications running in parallel and on different (or the same) architectures (e.g., Aurix™ and ARM Cortex-A), can be debugged, tested, traced and profiled at the same time.

Active Probe Debug

Active Probe Debug enables debugging, tracing, and testing different microcontroller architectures (ARM Cortex, NXP/ST MPC5x/SPC5x, Renesas RH850, RISC-V) through an architecture-specific adapter, which connects between the Active Probe and an embedded target. Standard debug protocols such as well-known JTAG, ARM's Serial Wire Debug (SWD), and RH850's Low Pin-Count Debug (LPD) are supported. Additionally, basic Trace Capture methods are supported such as ARM's ETB (Embedded Trace Buffer), and low-speed serial trace, like ARM’s SWO (Single Wire Output). Active Probe's small and compact hardware size allows for connecting to a target microcontroller in a confined space as far as 10 m away from the BlueBox.

Infineon DAP/DAPE II

Infineon DAP/DAPE II Active Probe enables the debugging, tracing and testing  of Infineon’s AURIX™ microcontroller  family including new TC4xx.  It  supports  the  DAP debug  interface  operating  at  their 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.

Infineon SGBT (HSTCU)

The Infineon SGBT (HSTCU) Active Probe enables debugging, tracing and testing of all Infineon AURIX™ TC2xx, TC3xx (2nd generation), TC4xx (3rd generation) microcontrollers. It supports the DAP and Aurora GigaBit Trace (AGBT/SGBT) interface via USB-C connector. 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 1 parallel AGBT lanes, running at a maximum bitrate of 5Gbps.

Infineon AGBT

The Infineon AGBT Active Probe has been developed to connect to the Aurora GigaBit Trace (AGBT) interface along the DAP debug interface at its maximum frequency. All Infineon AURIX™ TC2xx, TC3xx (2nd generation), TC4xx (3rd generation) microcontrollers are supported. In general and if a microcontroller does provide it, an iSYSTEM Active Probe supports up to 4 parallel AGBT lanes, running at a maximum bitrate of 5Gbps. In the case of AURIX, one lane is available. Its small and compact hardware size allows for connecting to a target microcontroller in a confined space and at a distance of up to 10 meters.

ARM HSSTP II

The Cortex™ families of processors continue to appear in increasingly complex system-on-chip (SoC) devices. In order to access the volume of trace information created by such products, ARM® has developed a new intellectual property (IP) block named High Speed Serial Trace Port (HSSTP). The iSYSTEM ARM HSSTP II Active Probe allows debugging, tracing and testing ARM® Cortex™ architectures. It supports both the JTAG debug interface and ARM High-Speed Trace Port (HSSTP). 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 parallel HSSTP lanes, running at a maximum bitrate of 5Gbps.

MPC5x/SPC5x Aurora

MPC5x/SPC5x Aurora Active Probe enables the debugging, tracing and testing of NXP Qorivva (MPC5xxx), NXP S32R and ST SPC5 microcontroller families. Besides the JTAG debug interface it supports 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.

RH850 Aurora

RH850 Aurora Active Probe enables the debugging, tracing and testing of Renesas RH850 microcontroller families. Besides the standard LPD debug interface it supports also a highspeed 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.
