Debugger supports ARM and XScale

SourcePoint 6.3.1 is the latest update to the American Arium debugger for ARM- and XScale-architecture processors

Available in Europe from Logic Technology, SourcePoint 6.3.1 is the latest version of the American Arium debugger for ARM- and XScale-architecture processors. This latest version offers a number of enhancements to SourcePoint 6.3, which was released in September of last year. Key SourcePoint 6.3.1 features include: additional Linux support in the form of multithreaded application debug; a new project wizard that streamlines the user's experience when creating a new project; trace data can now be saved as a binary file, allowing the developer to capture trace data at one facility and analyse it at another, all within SourcePoint; a new upload command that can be used for code patching, saving small patches made in a loaded program; improved load speed for targets incorporating XScale processors; and support for ARM RealView compiler tools v3.0.

SourcePoint 6.3 introduced support for ETMv3 in support of ARM11.

SourcePoint 6.3.1 provides a number of 'behind-the-scenes' enhancements for this.

It continues Arium's offering of a Linux OS-aware debug solution that delivers full symbolic, source-level debugging of Linux kernel code, including loadable kernel modules, and applications, including shared libraries.

Developers can launch or attach to processes with seamless transitions to and from the kernel and each process.

In addition, Arium delivers kernel debug straight out of reset, dynamic debug of loaded Linux kernel modules, and Linux console output through the JTAG port, eliminating a serial or Ethernet port requirement.

SourcePoint 6.3.1 JTAG emulator support includes the GT-1000D, Arium's powerhouse gigabyte ETM trace analyser, the HS-1000, offering the same support for ARM11 but a smaller trace buffer at an excellent price point, and the LC-500, an economical JTAG emulator.
