NEW EXTENSIONS FOR TRACE32 FROM LAUTERBACH

EB corbos Hypervisor and L4Re System fully supported by Lauterbach TRACE32

 

 

Lauterbach, the world’s leading debug tool supplier, is pleased to announce debug and trace support for Elektrobit’s automotive virtualization solution the EB corbos Hypervisor and Kernkonzept’s L4Re System.

The EB Corbos Hypervisor is built around Kernkonzept’s L4Re Operating System to service the safety and security needs of high-performance platforms in diverse industries, such as: Automotive, secure networking, HA Cloud Computing, industrial IoT, and smart home appliances. A type-1 virtualization solution, EB Corbos utilizes the hardware virtualization support present in many modern micro-processors, like ARM or x86, to provide maximum isolation among the Virtual Machines (VMs) and native micro-kernel applications.

Lauterbach’s TRACE32’s Awareness allows the complete debugging and tracing of VMs and their applications executing in a multi-core system, as well as hypervisor applications, drivers, and the L4Re Microkernel itself. The Awareness detects and gathers the state of all target resources and eases debugging by automatically displaying the correct source code and variables as well as providing process- and VM-sensitive breakpoints and extended features such as extracting high-level information from the VMs, like the Linux kernel log.

Using the trace features allows for advanced trace-based debugging, which can significantly reduce development time, and developers can optimize their applications based upon actual run-time analysis data and generate code coverage reports to meet industry standards.

“Hypervisors enable highly integrated embedded systems but also add another level of complexity. We are proud to announce support for the EB corbos Hypervisor, and to extend the L4Re ecosystem. TRACE32 demonstrates, again, that it is a tool for every stage of a product lifecycle, giving embedded developers complete visibility of their entire design,” says Norbert Weiss, Managing Director of Lauterbach.

A demonstration running on the NXP S32G or Renesas R-Car platform is available. The Awareness itself is available free of charge to Lauterbach customers.
