TRACE32® PowerTrace

Trace 32 PowerTrace Banner

PowerTrace modules are extensions to the debug module TRACE32® PowerDebug PRO. They provide the memory for recording core, bus or system trace information via parallel or serial trace ports. Their super-fast memory controller guarantees:

  • Continuous recording of trace data even at very high bandwidth.
  • On demand, streaming of trace data to the host computer.

Trace information is timestamped (5 ns resolution) when stored. The decoding of core trace data requires a suitable license. All PowerTrace variants have PODBUS Express interface to PowerDebug PRO that allows a fast upload of the trace information to the host computer.

PowerTrace II / III

PowerTrace II / III

PowerTrace II / III connect to the target via a TRACE32® Preprocessor.

  • TRACE32® AutoFocus II Preprocessor

    Records trace information at a parallel trace port (up to 32-bit). It is pre-licensed for a core trace protocol at delivery. Licenses for additional core traces can be added later.
  • TRACE32® Serial Preprocessor

    Records trace information at a serial trace port that uses an Aurora based protocol. Supported are up to 4 RX lanes, each lane up to 6.5 Gbit/s.
