PowerDebug E40
A Powerful Standard Debugger
The PowerDebug E40 is our essential-line debug controller, offering you the performance to help you power through simple and complex debug tasks. It supports USB3 high speed connection to the host, and can be extended with logic analyzer modules. Our universal debug tool is designed to maximize your productivity and return on investment. The energy-efficient design allows a fanless operation for silent debugging.
Flexible Target Connection
Switch between different targets without the need to exchange the PowerDebug E40 unit itself. Your PowerDebug E40 connects to your target via a modular debug probe. This probe is the target-specific part of your TRACE32 debug system, including the proper electrical interface and your architecture license.
Multiple target architecture licenses can be added to a single debug probe with a simple digital upgrade. If you have multiple designs with compatible electrical interfaces, you can support them all from one probe. If your multicore design shares a common debug interface, all cores can be debugged simultaneously with a single PowerDebug E40 and a single debug probe.
If a new target device uses a different electrical connection, you will only need to update the debug probe, or possibly only purchase a simple adapter, to immediately begin debugging. Your existing PowerDebug E40 and PowerView Software investments will continue to connect you to your target.
Architecture-specific Probes
Specialized debug probes dedicated to specific target platforms.
Configuration Examples for PowerDebug E40
Standard Debugger Configuration
A PowerDebug E40 with an IDC20A Debug Probe provides a standard configuration for debugging of a large number of targets. This configuration is perfectly suited for architectures like Arm Cortex-A/R/M, RISC-V, ARC, Xtensa, C6000, Hexagon, and many more.
Products shown:
- PowerDebug E40
- IDC20A Debug Probe
Automotive Debugger Configuration
If your target is based upon a core or SoC designed for automotive applications then this is the perfect configuration for you. The setup is well suited for architectures like TriCore/AURIX, PowerPC, RH850 and many more. For handling different ground levels, you can add an optional isolation adapter.
Products shown:
- PowerDebug E40
- AUTO26 Debug Probe
- Galvanic Isolation Adapter (optional)
Dual-Chip Arm Cortex-M Tracing
For your safety critical applications you may implement dual-chip configurations based on Arm Cortex-M CPU cores. In this case you often want to trace the program flow of both Cortex-M cores concurrently. This configuration supports two independent debug- and trace-ports and can correlate the two 4-bit Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) streams with each other.

- PowerDebug E40
- CombiProbe 2
- 2 x MIPI20T-HS Whiskers
