The renowned electronic magazine Elektronik
is once again calling for the election of the Product of
the Year award - and we're in!
We are very pleased that our Aurora 2
preprocessor has been nominated, why did the
Elektronik editors choose it? Here is the answer:
After consumer electronics such as smartphones, high-end
system-on-chips (SoCs) with multi-core and many-core
architectures are now also finding their way into
safety-critical applications such as the automotive,
aviation and medical device industries. Here, functional
safety certification, e.g. in accordance with ISO 26262,
DO-178C or IEC 62304, is mandatory. This requires, among
other things, code coverage and timing analyses based on
a real-time trace of instructions and data. For high-end
SoCs with high clock frequencies and multiple CPU cores,
a real-time trace of all cores was previously impossible
because the transmission and processing speed of the
trace modules was insufficient. Our Aurora 2
preprocessor, with its net data transfer
rate of up to 22.5Gb/s per line and
pre-processing and filtering of trace data, enables the
development of safety-critical applications even on very
fast and complex SoCs.

Lauterbach Announces Support for Next-Generation
Arm Processors - Armv9.2
July 3rd, 2023.
Hoehenkirchen, Germany - Lauterbach's TRACE32
development tools now also support Arm's newest
leading-edge Armv9.2 processors: the recently announced
next-generation Cortex-X4, Cortex-A720, and Cortex-A520.
TRACE32 support includes simultaneous debugging of the
heterogeneous CPU cores as well as non-intrusive CPU
trace capture.
Arm's Cortex-X4 is designed to deliver top-tier compute
performance in System-on-Chips (SoCs), featuring an
anticipated core clock speed of 3.4 GHz. The Cortex-A720
design was optimized to deliver more performance within
the same power budget compared to the Cortex-A715. Arm's
smallest core for this generation, the Cortex-A520, has
the lowest power-to-area ratio of all three announced
Armv9.2. Cortex cores and is primarily designed for
performing low-intensity and background operational
tasks to allow better power efficiency overall within
the cluster. The Arm v9.2 architecture enables SoC core
clusters of up to 14 cores, enabling increased support
for higher-end mobile devices such as tablets and
notebooks.
Lauterbach's TRACE32 enables hardware-accelerated
debugging and real-time tracing of all the heterogeneous
Arm Cortex-Ax and other cores which Arm licensees
implement on their SoCs. TRACE32 tools consist of the
universal PowerView debugging and tracing software as
well as debug and trace accelerator modules. While
Lauterbach's intelligent PowerDebug modules provide the
highest available download speeds and smallest response
times for efficient debugging and test automation,
PowerTrace real-time trace modules provide full insights
of what the CPUs and other cores of an Armv9.2. system
are doing without impacting its real-time performance in
any way. Trace analysis including code coverage
measurements can support in bringing embedded designs to
market faster, safer, and more reliably than ever.
TRACE32 enables simultaneous debugging and tracing of
the Arm Cortex-A application processors and other
cores in an SoC; a unique capability to cover the whole
system. It does not matter whether the system is SMP
(Symetric Multiprocessing), AMP (Asymetric
Multiprocessing), or iAMP (Integrated Asymmetrical
Multiprocessing). Lauterbach's innovative iAMP debug and
trace technology enables to debug multicore systems with
identical CPU instruction sets in just one TRACE32
PowerView GUI.
"Year after year, Arm delivers impressive advances in
computing performance and energy efficiency in its
newest applications processors", says Norbert Weiss,
Managing Director at Lauterbach GmbH. "And year after
year, full support from our TRACE32 debug and trace
tools is available along with Arm's announcement of the
new cores".
Lauterbach's TRACE32 enables developers of high-end
devices to evolve applications at Armv9.2. SoCs, which
implement Cortex-X4, Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520, even
faster and easier.
Lauterbach
Launches New
High-Speed Serial
Trace Tool
June 19th, 2023.
Rocket Fast
Tracing to Launch
Projects Faster
With PowerTrace
Serial 2, Lauterbach
introduces the
successor to its
market-leading trace
tool PowerTrace
Serial. Thanks to 8
GB of trace memory,
up to 80 Gbit/s
bandwidth, and the
ability to correlate
external signals
with the program
flow, embedded
developers now have
unprecedented
insights into
embedded systems.
Real-time tracing
dramatically widens
the possibilities to
debug and analyze
embedded systems:
Developers benefit
from measuring the
executing
performance,
analyzing race
conditions, or
proving code
coverage.
Lauterbach's new
PowerTrace Serial 2
fits perfectly to
all high-speed
serial trace ports
from low lane count
and low bit rate up
to the highest lane
count and fastest
bit rate available
in the embedded
industry.
It supports all
chips with serial
trace ports and not
only the Aurora/HSSTP
protocol, but also
tracing over PCIe:
If a SoC implements
no dedicated trace
port, but already
PCIe, PowerTrace
Serial 2 will act as
a PCIe endpoint for
trace data,
applicable for all
PCIe generations up
to PCIe Gen 3
build-in, or even
PCIe Gen 4 in
combination with
Lauterbach�s PCIe
Gen 4 Preprocessor
for PowerTrace
Serial. In
conclusion,
engineers save
additional
interfaces and
costly high-speed
transceivers.
With the ultra-high
bandwidth of up to
80 Gbit/s and sample
rates up to 12.5
Gbit/s per lane or
even 22.5 Gbit/s in
combination with the
Aurora 2
preprocessor,
PowerTrace Serial 2
allows capturing the
program flow, task
switches, data of
several cores, and
other system sources
at once in far more
detail compared to
competing tools and
without influencing
the system
operation. It
supports serial
trace for Arm®
CoreSight™ via HSSTP
or Infineon MCDS via
AGBT/SGBT and other
CPU architectures
providing a serial
trace interface.
Developers can
capture extremely
long-term trace
recordings by
streaming the trace
data to the host PC
for later analysis.
An average streaming
speed of up to 400
MB/s ensures a
reliable transfer
without data loss.
The Power Trace's
Serial 2 up to 8 GB
large high-speed
memory handles even
higher trace rates
reliably, by
buffering large
trace data volumes
that occur for a
short time. It works
with all major trace
protocols like ETM,
PTM, TWP, MCDS and
Nexus.
"With PowerTrace
Serial 2, developers
can easily examine
even their fastest
and most complex
SoCs and embedded
systems", said
Norbert Weiss,
Managing Director of
Lauterbach GmbH.
"Once again we show
our commitment to
accompany our
customers to the
forefront of
technical
development".
To enable a complete
view of embedded
systems, Lauterbachs
Mixed-Signal Probe
and PowerTrace
Serial 2 allow to
record external
digital and analog
signals and
correlate them to
the program
execution, for
Protocol Analysis or
Energy Profiling.
Instead of
optimizing just for
speed, developers
can now optimize
their applications
for energy usage,
extending battery
life, or making
their system more
sustainable. They
can easily locate
minimum, mean, and
maximum power
consumption areas.
As well as sampling
the raw signals,
Lauterbachs TRACE32
software has
built-in support for
analyzing a number
of industry-standard
protocols, such as
ASYNC (RS232), CAN,
I2C, I2S, SPI, JTAG,
and SWD. It's even
possible to add
support for
proprietary protocol
analysis by using
the provided API to
construct a shared
library or DLL to
manage the signal
data and display it
anyway.
The HD Programmable
Power module was
first released in
2016. We aim to
support our products

SEGGER emPower OS
Enables On-Going
Production During
Chip Shortages
June 24th, 2021.
SEGGER introduces
its all-in-one
embedded operating
system emPower OS.
It uses proven
components from the
software toolbox
that already lays
the groundwork for
many customer and
for SEGGER's
successful J-Link
debugger. emPower OS
provides an out-of-
the-box experience
for complex embedded
software
applications on
close to one
thousand hardware
platforms while
supporting many
more.
The
emPower OS software
package includes all
core components (RTOS,
GUI, File System)
and communication
software (TCP/IP,
USB Device,
USB-Host, Modbus),
as well as IoT
Toolkit, Security
and Compression
modules serving all
the software needs
of modern embedded
industrial and IoT
devices.
The available
hardware support
enables abstraction
of the application
from the used
microcontroller
being used. This
means being able to
quickly switch the
hardware without
completely rewriting
the software.
Software development
is simplified to
merely switching a
few drivers,
adapting the
remaining direct
hardware accesses
and testing
functionality.
This provides a
solution to supply
shortages on the
hardware side. The
redesign process
could possibly be
finished before the
estimated arrival
time of silicon
vendor's delivery.
"Because of the chip
crisis, many
industrial companies
are rethinking their
software development
processes - how to
break dependencies
and gain
flexibility,"
explains SEGGER CEO
Ivo Geilenbruegge. "emPower
OS
offers the flexibility
to prevent production
downtime."
he root cause of
production
challenges today is
the chip shortage.
Still, this is not
the only challenge,
responsible managers
need to keep in
mind. Other
challenges are
suppliers changing
owners, suppliers
changing license
models, changing
pricing or even
cancelling a
product, political
decisions that
prevent deliveries
and many more. You
can obtain further
information on how
to deal with these
challenges in our
risk management
article at SEGGER's
blog.
emPower OS is a
high-performance
software platform
for embedded systems
and Internet of
Things (IoT)
devices. emPower OS
is optimized for
high performance and
a small memory
footprint. In many
cases, the small
memory footprint
enables the use of a
typical
microcontroller,
eliminating the need
for expensive
external memory,
keeping the cost of
the embedded
computing system to
a minimum.
SEGGR's embedded
operating system emPower
OS is offered as
source code under a
perpetual license
model with a
one-time cost
without hidden
follow-up costs. The
customer always owns
the product license.
As part of the
Embedded Studio PRO
package, emPower OS
is offered in object
code.
XJTAG Introduces
Arm® SWD Support and
User-Defined
Libraries
June 17th, 2021.
Cambridge,
England, June 16,
2021 - XJTAG®,
a leader in JTAG
boundary scan test
solutions, announces
the introduction of
Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
support,
user-defined
libraries, a new
clock generator, and
other benefits in
its latest software
release, XJTAG 3.11.
Serial Wire Debug
Engineers using a
device with an ARM®
Cortex®
core can now benefit
from XJTAG's support
for the SWD protocol
via any two pins of
the XJLink2. As well
as being used to
program a device's
internal memory,
this interface also
allows an SWD-device
to be controlled
directly during a
board test-for
example, to provide
a way to test a
peripheral such as
an ADC; and to
program connected
memories.
Although XJTAG
always recommends
bringing out a
processor�s JTAG
signals for good
test coverage, if
this cannot be done
for some reason,
this release
provides a way to
test the device�s
connections by using
SWD to control its
GPIO pins.
Devices that
multiplex SWD on
their JTAG pins are
supported by an
additional function
that automates
switching between
the two modes. With
an increasing number
of ICs available
with an SWD
interface, XJTAG
believes engineers
will find this
support a valuable
addition.
User-Defined XJEase Libraries
The new XJTAG
release also
introduces an
application that
allows engineers to
create and manage
their own library of
XJEase device files
and circuit code
files. This library
can also be
distributed and
maintained across an
organisation to help
drive consistency
between teams,
reduce the risk of
duplicated effort,
and minimise the
time taken to
maintain projects.
When categorising
devices or adding
circuit code files
to a project, this
new library can be
added to
XJDeveloper�s list
of libraries to be
used.
Configurable Oscillator
Engineers looking
for a way to prevent
a watchdog timer
from resetting the
board during
testing, or who need
a simple clock
input, will benefit
from XJLink2�s new
oscillator output.
It comes with XJTAG
3.11 and can bring
convenience and cost
savings, in many
instances removing
the need for a
separate signal
generator. This
flexible and
easy-to-use
oscillator is
adjustable in 10 kHz
steps from 10 kHz to
166 MHz and has a
high-impedance
output state when
switched off. It is
easy to control
during a test using
XJEase and runs
without continuous
software
interaction, making
it ideal when
testing a board that
requires a constant
input. It is
available on all
XJLink2-based
hardware, including
USB, PXI and Quad
versions.
Excel Support, Log File Viewer and Other
Improvements
To make creating
projects easier,
XJTAG has responded
to several
engineering requests
by adding support
for importing BOM
files in Excel
format (.xls and .xlsx),
including multi-tab
files.
It is also now
easier to deal with
multiple log files.
Engineers no longer
need to open every
file to find the
ones they want
because the Log File
Viewer in XJTAG 3.11
enables users to
filter and search a
collection of log
files based on their
content. This allows
users to filter log
files to identify
those where a
specific test
failed, or those
generated at a
particular time or
from a specific
XJPack or project
version. This speeds
up the process of
identifying trends
and debugging
problems. Other
additions to the Log
File Viewer include
the ability to
preview a list of
tests and results
before opening the
file, easier
navigation through
the file because the
relevant section is
highlighted when a
test is selected in
the navigation pane,
and the addition of
a �most recently
used� list of
folders.
When debugging
problems with
dynamic JTAG chains,
it�s now easier to
switch profiles on
XJDeveloper�s
Analyser, Debug
Connection Test, and
Pin Mapping screens:
instead of needing
to change the
project�s default
setting, you can now
switch freely
between profiles.
All the benefits
that come with the
3.11 release
demonstrate XJTAG�s
continued commitment
to maintaining its
leadership in the
field of boundary
scan test systems.
This latest software
is now available for
download from
www.xjtag.com
for existing clients
with a valid
maintenance
contract. XJTAG can

Aukua Systems
Introduces New
XGA4250 High Speed
3-in-1 Ethernet & IP
Test Platform
May 24th, 2021.
Precision Ethernet &
IP test solutions
provider introduces
new hardware
platform supporting
25G Ethernet
Aukua Systems, Inc.,
a leading provider
of precision
Ethernet & IP Test
and Monitoring
solutions, today
announced the
release of the new
XGA4250 hardware
platform. This new
platform complements
Aukua's popular
MGA2510 by extending
its unique 3-in-1
testing solution to
support higher
speeds of 25G and
beyond.
The rapid
proliferation of
advanced cloud-based
applications in
enterprise data
center networks is
driving the need for
faster connectivity
speeds than 10G
which has been the
dominant rate for
the last few years.
Since 802.3 by was
ratified and
approved by IEEE as
a standard in 2016,
more organizations
are adopting 25G
Ethernet instead of
40G as their
preferred server to
top-of-rack
interconnect speed
as it is a newer
technology with a
smaller footprint
and provides a clear
upgrade path to 50G,
200G and beyond. In
addition to data
centers, 25G
Ethernet is also
emerging as the
preferred connection
technology for
fronthaul and
midhaul applications
being deployed in
mobile 5G networks
replacing legacy
technologies like
CPRI.
"As our customers
have increased the
speed of their
networks and , they
are demanding that
we augment their
test capabilities
with a higher speed
version of the much
loved MGA2510," said
Suds Rajagopal,
Aukua's Co-Founder
and Vice President.
Like the MGA2510,
the new XGA4250 is
uniquely capable of
being used as a
Traffic Generator &
Analyzer, Inline
Packet Capture, or a
Network Impairment
Emulator system.
"This flexibility is
critical in enabling
our customers to
develop and deploy
new, groundbreaking
technologies like
Open RAN used in 5G
Wireless, Automotive
Ethernet and other
new high-speed
interconnects,"
Rajagopal added.
Beta versions of the
XGA4250 started
shipping to select
customers earlier
this quarter and the
product is generally
available starting
this week.

New version V5 of
SEGGER Embedded
Studio IDE now
available!
May 19th, 2021.
Embedded Studio for
ARM enables
efficient
development for all
ARM-based devices.
With support ranging
from small Cortex-M
microprocessors used
in IoT nodes to
powerful Cortex-A
cores in complex
systems, Embedded
Studio provides you
with everything
required to develop
your .
Why buy two separate
computer boards when
you can get
everything you need
in one? A 2-in-1 SBC
combines the
standard CPU +
system I/O of a
traditional
single-board
computer with a
full-fledged data
acquisition
subsystem to provide
double density in
the space of a
single board. This
helps to reduce the
size and weight of
your embedded system
and usually provides
cost savings as
well.
Benefits of
2-in-1 SBCs
Size and weight
reduction - the
single board is thinner
than 2 individual
boards, and the
elimination of the extra
PCB and bus connectors
significantly reduces
the weight. This is
extremely valuable for
mobile, robotics, and
other applications.
Increased reliability
- Elimination of
extraneous connectors
and bus interface
components improves MTBF
of the overall system.
Increased ruggedness
- reduction in size,
weight, and
interconnects drives up
resistance to shock and
vibration.
Simplified purchasing
and logistics - Your
purchasing department
only has to buy one
product from one vendor,
your stockroom saves
space, and your assembly
effort is reduced.
Simplified support
- compatibility
between the two
functions (SBC + I/O) is
guaranteed, and a single
vendor provides all the
support, simplifying and
improving design-in and
support efforts..
The global market
has been generally
recovering from the
COVID-19 pandemic
that severely hit
the world economy
last year. The
persistent
stay-at-home economy
results in strong
demands for
electronic devices,
and semiconductor
industry is deeply
affected by the
trend; since the
very beginning of
2021, consumer
electronics and
electric vehicle
manufacturers have
faced a worldwide
shortage of IC
chips.
According to SEMI,
�February billings
of North
America-based
semiconductor
equipment
manufacturers once
again exceeded $3
billion, powered by
robust secular
semiconductor demand
across diverse
end-use markets.�
The digitization of
industries worldwide
continues to drive
rising investments
in semiconductor
equipment, and also
stimulate the
development of all
kinds of IC chips.
Meanwhile, DediProg
Technology launches
a new all-in-one
engineering IC
programmer
NuProg-E2, it
supports most IC
types on the market,
providing a more
completed and
efficient solution
for application
engineers.
NuProg-E2
combined programming
function of Nuprog-E
and StarProg-U, and
is compatible with
ICs of different
capacity: range from
low capacity MCU and
CPLD to high
capacity Flash, eMMC
and UFS, etc.
Designed FPGA kernel
architecture and
built-in SuperSpeed�
USB 3.0, NuProg-E2
has achieved a
high-speed &
reliable programming
performance; it�s an
ideal choice for
application analysis
and product

Freely
programmable
6-channel router for
CAN and CAN FD
April 26th, 2021.
With six channels,
the PCAN-Router Pro
FD links the data
traffic of modern
CAN FD and classic
CAN buses. Pluggable
CAN transceiver
modules allow
flexible adaptation
of each CAN channel
to the respective
requirements. In
addition, the router
is equipped with an
analog input and
four digital I/Os.
The CAN messages can
be recorded on the
internal memory or
on an inserted
memory card and
later read out via
the USB connection.
With the PCAN-Router
Pro FD the data flow
of test benches and
production plants
can be managed,
monitored, and
controlled. The
conversion from CAN
to CAN FD or vice
versa enables the
integration of new
CAN FD applications
into existing CAN
2.0 networks.
The behavior of the
PCAN-Router Pro FD
can be programmed
freely for specific
applications. The
firmware is created
using the included
development package
with GNU compiler
for C and C++ and is
then transferred to
the module via CAN.
Various programming
examples, such as
message forwarding
or recording,
facilitate the
implementation of
own solutions.

Family of MCUs
March 30th, 2021.
Embedded Studio
is SEGGER�s
cross-platform
integrated
development
environment (IDE)
for embedded systems
development. The
editor is quick to
start up and the
build process is
blazingly fast,
saving precious
working hours.
Embedded Studio
contains SEGGER's
own
runtime and
floating point
libraries,
compilers and
linkers. All of
these components
were developed from
the ground up
specifically for
resource-constrained
embedded systems,
are extensively used
internally at SEGGER,
and are continuously
updated and
developed. SEGGER's
primary development
goal is to create
fast programs that
can easily be
tailored to the
target system and
require as little
memory as possible.
Optimizations are
made at various
stages of the build
process to reduce
code size and
improve execution
speed. The
linker can make
optimal use of the
typically small
memory of
microcontrollers.
Code blocks can be
distributed over
several memory areas
and unusable memory
locations can be
omitted.
Embedded Studio
supports all the
features that
characterize
J-Link and
J-Trace, such as
unlimited
breakpoints in flash
memory or
RTT (Real Time
Transfer).
There are no
restrictions in
terms of code size,
features or duration
of use.
The power efficiency
of the Renesas RE
Family of MCUs
(including the
RE01-256K), combined
with the low
resource usage of
SEGGER software,
minimizes, or
sometimes even
removes, the need to
recharge or replace
batteries. This
combined efficiency
could have far
reaching effects;
for home and
building automation,
smart farming,
factories, a wide
range of medical
devices, wearable
applications and
more.
Lauterbach GmbH
launches new
PowerTrace III and
Mixed-Signal Probe
to enhance customer
debug experience
March 26th, 2020.
Lauterbach GmbH
announces the launch
of its new high-end
trace tool, the
PowerTrace III,
accompanied by the
new Mixed-Signal
Probe, a
high-performance
hybrid tool to probe
digital and analog
signals. With this
new tool set,
Lauterbach again
pushes the
boundaries of the
debug experience on
microcontroller
systems.
So far, the
PowerTrace III is
the best trace tool
in Lauterbach�s
portfolio. The
long-lasting tool
follows the product
philosophy in terms
of modularity and
backward
compatibility. It is
architecture
independent,
expandable and
future-proof.
Combined with one of
the serial or
parallel
preprocessors, the
PowerTrace III is
designed to capture
a CPU�s program-flow
using off-chip trace
interfaces like ETM,
NEXUS and AGBT. The
trace buffer of 8
GByte and the
streaming speed of
up to 400 MByte/s
allows the
collection of a
large amount of data
over a long period
of time. The
likelihood of memory
overflow and thus
the loss of data is
considerably
reduced.
The Mixed-Signal
Probe is a hybrid
probe capable of
measuring up to 12
digital and 8 analog
channels in
parallel. Beside
signal analysis, it
provides the
correlation of
digital and analog
signals with the
program flow,
supports energy
profiling and
includes protocol
analysis functions.
The Mixed-Signal
Probe is included in
the PowerTrace III
set, but it can be
ordered separately
to be used in
combination with
other Lauterbach
trace tools: the
CombiProbe 2 and the
�Trace.
Says Norbert Weiss,
Managing Director of
Lauterbach GmbH,
�The company has
always been
committed to making
modular tools that
allow developers to
re-use as much as
possible when
switching to new
projects. The
PowerTrace III does
that and provides a
significant
improvement in the
amount of trace data
that our customers
can capture to
analyze and measure
their embedded
designs. Every few
years, the embedded
designs undergo a
step change in their
power and
capabilities and the
tools need to be
able to grow
alongside this. I
firmly believe that,
once again, we have
the right tools to
ensure the success
of our customers.�
Both will be
available from the
first of April 2021

and CANopen FD
for Industrial
Use
August 05,
2020
In cooperation
with the partner
Embedded Systems
Academy (EmSA),
PEAK-System has
developed an I/O
device with
CANopen and
CANopen FD
connection. The
PCAN-MicroMod FD
DR CANopen
Digital 1 has 8
digital inputs
and 8 digital
outputs and is
delivered in a
DIN rail housing
with Phoenix
screw terminal
strips.
The
inputs comply
with the PLC
standard DIN EN
61131-2 and have
a Type 3
characteristic;
they are
galvanically
isolated in two
groups up to 100
V from the
device supply.
The
digital outputs
on high-side
switch basis can
each be loaded
up to 500 mA.
Mechanisms such
as thermal
protection,
short-circuit
detection, and
open-load
detection
increase the
reliability of
the outputs.
The Node
ID and bit rates
are set via
rotary switches.
This allows the
device to be set
up for use in
new CANopen FD
and classic
CANopen networks
without
additional
configuration
software.
CANopen
conformity has
been tested and
certified by the
CAN in
Automation (CiA)
association.
Note: The
device
conformity test
and
certification
for CANopen FD�
is pending.
DP1000-G3 can up to
3,200 UPH; moreover,
the system can be
embedded with 2 sets
of ProgMaster or
NuProgPlus
programmers. This
provides maximum of
32 programming sites
to remain stable
quality and high
throughput. If it is
equipped with Auto

applications can be standardized
on AppCOE to allow the
applications to interoperate and
run seamlessly on a single
platform.
HighTec is proud to announce
that our operating system now
has been officially safety
approved. HighTec received the
certificate confirming the
fitness of PXROS-HR for
safety-related applications up
to SIL3 (IEC61508) and ASIL-D
(ISO 26262).
The certificate includes an
assessment report containing the
assessment results of the
certification authority,
T�V-Nord Systems GmbH & Co. KG.
We are really impressed with the
thorough understanding of the
design principles of PXROS-HR
that is shown by the report.
The SIL3/ASIL-D achievement
makes our real-time operating
system (RTOS) the optimal and
safety approved solution for
non-AUTOSAR based automotive and
industrial applications,
including agriculture and
forestry machines/equipment.
The report summarizes them as
follows:
"The main principles of HR PXROS
are safety, reliability,
portability and expandability.
To achieve these goals, PXROS-HR
relies on the following
principles:
No Periphery of the
kernel function: For
instance, the
time-handling of the
system is done in
response to a
predetermined
tick-signal of the
application.
General concept of
resource allocation:
resources are divided
into objects and
dedicated for certain
purposes only.
Preallocation can ensure
that for a certain
purpose, the required
resources are available
(e.g. memory for sending
a message).
Separation of the
interrupt system of the
microkernel: the
interrupt system is not
influenced by the
kernel; in particular,
there are no interrupt
locks. The interrupt
system is dedicated to
the application layer.
No lack of resources due
to excessive interrupt
load:
System calls, which result from interrupt, do not
require any resources.
If necessary the
resources will be
rearranged.
Freedom of interference
between tasks: The address
ranges of tasks can be
separated completely. The
communication is performed
through messages only.
Concept of the termination
of functions: This ensures
the correct exception
handling."
Further the report
characterizes our operating
system as a "Safety Element
out of Context" (SEooC, this
terminology is taken from
ISO 26262). This means that
PXROS-HR as a basis of your
safety critical application
has not to be assessed
completely from scratch but
it suffices to show that it
can safely be integrated
into your application
context.
The benefit that you draw
from the use of PXROS-HR is
threefold:
First, you can be
sure, that your
safety critical
real-time
application is build
on a sound basis.
Second, you can save
time and money
because PXROS-HR as
a basis of your
safety critical
application need not
to be assessed
completely from
scratch but it
suffices to show
that it can safely
be integrated into
your application
context.
Third you can safe
time and money:
because of the
principle "Freedom
of interference" you
are entitled to run
those parts of your
application that are
not relevant to
safety on the same
ECU as the safety
critical without the
extra effort of
validating the non
critical parts.
Automated Software Porting To
New Operating System
OS Changer� is a C/C++
source-level virtualization
technology that allows you to
easily re-use your software
on another OS, while providing
real-time performance. It
eliminates the manual porting
effort, saves money and shortens
the time to market.
Cross-platform freedom:
SEGGER's J-Flash now available
for macOS & Linux
April 23rd, 2020.
SEGGER J-Link now
available on every popular
operating system: Windows, macOS
and Linux.
While
the J-Link
software and
included command line
tools have been
cross-platform for
years, the applications
with Graphical User
Interfaces (GUIs) have
only been available on
Windows. These have now
been rewritten, one at a
time to make the entire
package cross-platform.
With this release the
popular J-Flash application,
which provides an easy
to use interface for
production flash
programming and
automation, is finally
available not only for
Windows, but also for
Linux and macOS.
Cross-OS Development PlatformT
is a C/C++ source-level
virtualization technology that
provides a robust and industry
standard OS interface
architecture for flexible
real-time application
development, while allowing the
user to protect the software
from being locked to one OS.
This negates future porting
issues because the software will
support multiple operating
systems and versions from the
beginning. It also eliminates
the risk associated with the OS
selection process, since the
same application can be tested
on multiple platforms for
comparison and won't be tied to
the chosen OS.
Debug from home: SEGGER's J-Link
Remote Server adds encryption
April 23rd, 2020.
SEGGER's J-Link Remote Server is
a proven way to debug remotely.
It has been used for years to
debug target systems, thousands
of miles away, even behind
firewalls. Of its many uses in
the past, a particularly
important one was for system
bring-up when hardware
availability was limited,
expensive, or otherwise
difficult. Today an even more
important application has moved
into focus.
Working from home has become a
necessity for many of us. Given
the ongoing changes in the
working environment, it is very
likely that some amount of
work-from-home time will become
not just more common but will be
"the new normal".
It is not only impractical for
developers to carry hardware
home, with J-Link
Remote Server it is also
unnecessary. Developers can
simply connect from home and use
any tool that supports J-Link.
The J-Link operates exactly the
same as if it were sitting right
on the developer's desk. J-Link
Remote Server was first
convenient, then very useful,
and is now on its way to
becoming indispensable.
Paired with authenticated access
to the J-Link Remote Server, and
the encrypted communication
tunnel between software and
probe, remote access is another
rock-solid debug option for the
J-Link based on the proven
algorithms of emCrypt.
The authentication uses
challenge-response methods to
ensure the password is never
visible on the wire. The
end-to-end encryption of the
debug stream ensures that the
application can be securely
transferred via wire.
The J-Link Remote Server can be
used at no cost with any J-Link
model, including base models
with only USB interface. The
software is included in the "J-Link
Software and Documentation
Package" that comes with
every model J-Link or J-Trace.

implementing high performance
computing and AI applications in
mobile and harsh environments.
Our detailed knowledge
of the debug and trace
infrastructure of thousands of
chips, our decades of experience
in the field, and our ability to
integrate with many other tools
has made us the de-facto
experts!
XJTAG�, a leader in JTAG
boundary scan test solutions,
announces the release of two new
features that further enhance
the ease-of-use of boundary scan
tools. XJTAG 3.10 introduces an
automated method for dealing
with the situation when design
updates occur on the board being
tested, and a simple way to
override the default settings of
global variables used by XJEase
Device Files.
The Board Revisions feature uses
an intelligent device-matching
algorithm to analyse the new
netlist and identify devices
that have had reference
designators changed. It copies
their categorisation information
to the new project and
automatically updates all
references to them. If devices
have been removed from the
circuit, these are highlighted
to the user. The matches and
suggestions are presented in a
user-friendly format that shows
the reasons for the suggestions
while guiding the user through
the updating process. The
schematic viewer, layout viewer,
and netlist explorer are all
utilised to provide the most
user-friendly way to present the
information the user needs when
validating these proposed
updates.
A second enhancement to XJTAG
3.10 provides a simple-to-use
dialog box that allows users to
override the default values of
the global variables used in
XJEase device files. This allows
global variables to be set
easily and quickly for one
specific device using a method
that doesn�t require coding
and therefore avoids the risks
associated with editing device
files directly. Each device can
have its own set of global
variables instead of them
needing to be common to all ICs
that use the same device file.
As an example, users of XJTAG
3.10 can set up testing so that
debug data for just one specific
IC is outputted, even when the
board being tested uses more
than one of that particular
component.

ARM UlinkPro for
Detecting sporadic errors using
ETM trace
ESS ARM Tools Team, is pleased
to share this application note
that explains how ULINKpro is
used to identify sporadic errors
that where caused by
misconfigured hardware. It shows
how the advanced debug features
of the Arm Cortex-M architecture
and the trace adapter helped to
find the root cause of the
problem that was not related to
the application software (in
this case a network stack) but
caused by a wrong timing
configuration of a Flash
accelerator.
While developing a network
application on an NXP LPC43xx
(Arm Cortex-M4 based), the
system crashes sporadically. The
application runs at 180 MHz from
internal flash and works as
expected for a while, but then
ends up in a HardFault.
Typically, the error occurs
after a few minutes, but the
time varies and sometimes it
does not occur for quite a
while.
This application note shows how
we found a dependency on network
activity and router behavior,
which triggered a certain part
of the code to execute.

Tesla owners are required to
have the PCAN-USB adapter and
Tesla's Event Data Recorder (EDR)
Retrieval Program to generate a
PDF report outlining the
findings from their electric
cars' data recorder.
Tesla is now allowing owners of
its vehicles to access their
cars' Event Data Recorder (EDR),
commonly known as the 'black
box' of autos, through a set of
licensed tools and software.
As noted by Tesla on its
official help page for its EDR
user
guide
, all of the company's vehicles
save for the original Roadster
are equipped with an Event Data
Recorder. The recording devices
are only activated once the
vehicle senses a non-trivial
physical occurrence in the
vehicle. Thus, during normal
driving conditions, the EDR is
deactivated.
In the event that data logs from
the EDR need to be accessed,
however, Tesla's new set of
proprietary tools and software
can retrieve data from the
vehicle's black box. The
following hardware is required
to gain access to the data to
the Model S, X, and 3's EDR.
