Lauterbach launches high-speed serial trace tool
Summary
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. “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. 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. As well as sampling the raw signals, Lauterbachs TRACE32 software has built-in support for analysing 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.
