Automotive Industry
Enabling the Future of Automotive Innovation
For 45 years, we have delivered automotive solutions that empower engineers to overcome challenges and accelerate innovation. Whether it is electrification, driver assistance technologies or software defined vehicles (SDV), our TRACE32® debug, trace and profile tools help you deliver innovation faster and prepare for the road ahead. As the thought leader for debug and trace technologies, we are the experienced, innovative and reliable partner you need to build the future of transportation, making driving safer, greener, and more connected.
Debug, Trace and Profile Software Defined Vehicles (SDV)
From tiny end point MCUs to Zonal Controllers to complex and heterogeneous High Performance Computing (HPC) Multicore SoCs - only our TRACE32® tools cover it all. They also support complex software stacks in virtualized environments and containers for Over-the-Air Updates (OTA) - on real and virtual targets , enabling developers to "shift left".

Ensure Automotive Reliability, Safety, and Performance
Our modular TRACE32® platform empowers you to confidently tackle increasingly complex embedded systems, turning debugging into a strategic advantage and ensuring that code is not only functional, but also flawless, in the fastest possible way. Our extensive experience and deep-rooted presence in the automotive industry provides you with not just a tool, but a legacy of expertise.
Accelerate Time to Market with Full AUTOSAR Support
For AUTOSAR-based, safety-critical systems, advanced analysis techniques are required to prove functional safety. Our TRACE32® debug and trace tools not only enable deep insights into such systems, but also advanced timing analysis solutions as a result of cooperation with AUTOSAR tool vendors.

Minimize Your Tool Qualification Efforts
Functional safety is a key requirement for automotive systems. Qualification according to ISO 26262 also includes the development tools used. Our certified Tool Qualification Support Kits (TQSK) provide everything you need to qualify our TRACE32® solutions.

Development cycles are getting shorter and shorter. It is essential to discover and debug issues as soon as possible (“Shift-Left”). Our TRACE32® tools can connect to various simulators, emulators, and virtual targets as well as perform host-debugging. You can reuse the scripts generated in this phase throughout the entire product life cycle because the user interface and scripting commands stay the same from simulations through use in the field by your customers.
One Tool for All Your Automotive Innovations
Our TRACE32® PowerView Software provides you with a uniform UI in all your projects and has enjoyed a very high reputation in the embedded community for many years, not only because of its almost unlimited, industry-leading debug and trace features, but also because of its exceptionally high stability and reliability. TRACE32® has been constantly evolving for more than 45 years to provide the features our demanding customers need to perfect their embedded innovations, from standard to even the most complex debug and trace scenarios.
Extensive Toolchain Support Through Our Strong Partner Ecosystem
Interoperability and an open Ecosystem is our prime directive. We not only have an open API, used by many of our partners to interact with the TRACE32® PowerView GUI, but also support hundreds of virtual Targets, Compiler, OSes, Hypervisors, Flash Controller/Devices, and Bootloaders which are used in the Automotive Industry.
At the Forefront of Automotive Technology
As the leading supplier of Debug- and Trace Tools in the Automotive Industry, we are always at the forefront of technological development. In our press releases, you can find out which new chips, architectures and technologies we support with TRACE32® , usually far earlier than they become widely visible on the market.
