High-speed trace tool debugs real-time apps

The XDS560 Trace Development Tool is a nonintrusive hardware-based trace tool for debugging high-performance real-time embedded applications and for fine-tuning code performance and cache optimization. Real-time visibility and a high-speed interface provide developers with the detailed information they require to determine where and why complex intermittent problems occur.

The XDS560 has the a high-speed USB emulator and a trace module with a high-density 60-pin header connector capable of interfacing directly to the integrated trace module on 17 Texas Instrument DSP chips. Specialized watchpoints via hardware-based state machines enable complex real-time advanced event triggers for data capture. The module nonintrusively extends full real-time visibility of registers and counters and is fully supported by Code Composer Studio IDE. ($9,995available now.)
