Nohau has released a new USB to JTAG-based debugger for the MicroBlaze 32bit soft processor core from Xilinx featuring uC/OS-II support from Micrium. Nohau's powerful macro-based debugger, Seehau, controls the EMUL-PC/USB-JTAG hardware giving high-level language debug support with kernel aware debugging for uC/OS-II. With Nohau's Project Manager, engineers can greatly reduce the edit-compile-debug loop time.
A "soft" trace module is included in the tool greatly enhancing the search for "hard-to-find" bugs.
"I believe that soft cores in FPGAs have the potential to change the way embedded systems are designed in the future.
However, without excellent development tools, the design process is too difficult", said Olle Hallengren, President of Nohau.
"Nohau's and Micrium's tools are contributing to ease this process".
Micrium's uC/OS-II is a highly portable RTOS that meets the requirements of safety critical systems and has been used in avionics, medical, industrial, data communications, instrumentation and many other types of applications.
"Micrium is pleased to partner with Nohau and Xilinx to extend the availability of our very popular and robust RTOS to the embedded community", said Jean J Labrosse, President of Micrium.
"The source code for uC/OS-II is exceptionally clean and well commented which allowed it to be ported to the MicroBlaze in just a few days.
Nohau's Seehau kernel awareness provides visibility into uC/OS-II which greatly helps embedded developers isolate complex problems".
"We are pleased to collaborate with Nohau and Micrium to offer familiar and best-in-class debug tools and uC/OS support, respectively for our MicroBlaze users", said Mark Aaldering, Senior Director of IP Solution Division at Xilinx.
"These tools will help accelerate development time".
