Nexus Trace


Operation Modes

  • 2 - 16 MDOs with 1 or 2 MSEOs
  • MCKO trace clock up to 100 MHz
  • Full/reduced port mode supported
  • DDR Mode support

Supported Trace features

  • Program trace (full branch trace and history trace messaging)
  • Data trace (read / write / read+write and instruction fetch trace)
  • Ownership trace messaging (e.g. for tracing task scitches)
  • Watchpoint tracing (e.g. event counting, frequency measurement)

  • Program/Data trace support for eTPUs and CDC

Advanced trigger sequencer

  • Application examples:
    • Program break on data value (for cores without DVC)
    • Filtering trace messages for longer recording time

    • 2 Trigger Outputs

Trigger Delay

  • 0 .. 300 s

External Trigger

  • Input from PODBUS
  • Output to PODBUS

Trace Features


Trace-based Debugging (CTS)
  • Allows re-debuggging of a traced program section
  • Provides forward and backward debugging capabilities
  • High-level language trace display including all local variables
  • Timing and function nesting display
  • Has the ability to fill most trace gaps caused by the limited bandwidth of trace port

Trace-based Profiling
  • Detailed analysis of function run-times
  • Detailed analysis of task run-times and state
  • Graphical analysis of variable values over the time
  • Analysis of the time interval of a single event (e.g. Interrupt)
  • Analysis of the time interval between 2 defined events

AUTOSAR Profiling: Classic Platform
  • Established part of AUTOSAR Classic timing tool chain
  • Support for ORTI and ARTI
  • Excellent co-operation with vendors in the AUTOSAR Classic ecosystem
  • Extensive TRACE32 profiling features
  • Trace export to timing verification tools

Trace-based Code Coverage
  • Provides all metrics for functional safety
  • For standard trace protocols TRACE32 Code Coverage gets by with no or very little instrumentation, full instrumentation as fallback
  • Suitable for long-term testing
  • Automated report generation in multiple exchange formats
  • TRACE32 Trace-Based Code Coverage is included in the scope of delivery of all TRACE32 Debug & Trace Tools at no additional cost
