Start tracing with iSYSTEM tools
This tutorial introduces how to perform trace with iSYSTEM tools - winIDEA Analyzer together with the BlueBox technology. It focuses on the basics: how to record trace on different devices and visualize the analysis results in the Analyzer Profiler timeline.
Intro - find out how debugging with trace works,
Unit 1 - set up optimal trace configuration,
Unit 2 - get to know CPU architectures trace capabilities and configure winIDEA settings,
Unit 3 - perform trace analysis and view results.
