TRACE32®
PowerView Software

The Only Debug Software You’ll Need for All Your Targets
The TRACE32® PowerView software is our central front end for all your debug and trace activities, no matter which hardware modules or software-only solutions and irrespective of which targets you use. It provides you with a uniform GUI 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.
Let PowerView exceed also Your Expectations
Even though our TRACE32® tools support the most chips, the most architectures and the most complex SoCs in the tools market, in the end it all comes down to the user experience with the development tools used. Our PowerView software frontend has been constantly evolving for more than 40 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. Let us surprise you, too, with all the features PowerView has to offer for your use cases.
A Single GUI for Everything
PowerView is your front-end interface for all architectures, chips and targets and makes switching from one CPU to another or from simulation to real silicon a breeze. No relearning, no reinstalling. Once PowerView, always PowerView.
Fully Automate Debug and Trace
By using our script language, PRACTICE®, you can fully automate all your debug and trace activities. As a base, we provide over 7,600 pre-built, comprehensive scripts that you can use out of the box or easily customize to your needs.
Benefit from Exceptional Stability
For many years, our customers have praised the outstanding stability and reliability of the PowerView software. This saves you time, effort and, ultimately money.
Extend PowerView with OS-Awareness
If you run one or even more operating systems (e.g. as guest OSes under a hypervisor) on your target, you can add OS awareness files - and hypervisor awareness files, if used - to debug and trace the complete software stack.
Connect Third Party Tools Easily
The PowerView Remote API enables you to control and access the target from third-party programs e.g. to integrate your tools into an automated production environment, to debug targets distributed around the world or access a target room from everywhere.
Run PowerView on all Major OSes
Which operating systems are used for your host PCs in your company does not matter for PowerView. You can install and run it on all major operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Save Time with Peripheral Register Display
To read and write peripheral registers, you normally have to find an address and the bit position in it from the CPU manual. PowerView displays the peripheral registers for thousands of chip derivatives with their name, which you can easily search for.
Merge Program-Flow and Target-Signals
By using one of our logic analyzers you can record digital and analog signals. PowerView allows you to correlate them to the program flow within a single UI. This way you can easily verify signal timings or calculate the power consumption of certain program parts.
The GUI for all of Your Use Cases
PowerView provides you with a consistent GUI and feature set for all use cases. Depending on your requirements, you can debug a real target via our hardware modules or a pure software solution via USB or XCP. You can also work without a target, with simulators, emulators, virtual targets or with our built-in instruction set simulator. No matter which approach you choose, your PowerView remains the same.
