The debuggers of LAUTERBACH, the manufacturer of microprocessor development tools, now support Infineon′s TriCore TC1782 and TC1782ED devices of the new TriCore AUDO-MAX family.
The TriCore AUDO-MAX family is designed for embedded real-time automotive applications and provides high-end microcontroller performance combined with sophisticated DSP capabilities and chip frequencies up to 180 MHz. The devices are equipped with up to 2,5 MB of embedded flash memory and offer an interrupt system with high response times and low latencies.
Lauterbach provides OCDS-L1 debug support for the chip′s TriCore v1.3.1 and PCP v2 core. Assembler-level and HLL debugging is supported for the most commonly used TriCore and PCP C/C++ compilers. Debugging at HLL- and assembler-level, an unlimited number of software breakpoints, batch processing, and the use of on-chip break logic are standard features. High-performance programming of the internal flash memory is also supported.
The TriCore TC1782ED is the Emulation Device version of the TC1782, replacing the production chip during the development phase. It is additionally equipped with OCDS-L3 features: on-chip memory (up to 512 KB) for trace and calibration, and an advanced trigger and filter unit (MCDS).
Lauterbach provides access to all of these features via the TRACE32 PowerView interface which supports the on-chip trace as well as a full integration of the MCDS trigger and filter capabilities, also providing support for the user with more advanced features such as selective recording of program parts and variables including their contents to detect and analyze errors. Program flow and/or data access are recorded by means of on-chip trace in real time. The recordings can be given a time stamp, enabling statistical evaluations during runtime without the need of code instrumentation.
TRACE32 provides debug and on-chip trace access to TC1782 and TC1782ED via a single debug connector, operated either in standard JTAG mode or the low pin-count DAP mode.
The TriCore debugger requires only a software update and a trace license to support all of the new features. Debug cables shipped before September 2008 have to be replaced in order to use the DAP mode.
