Mentor Graphics’s Sourcery CodeBench is a complete development environment for embedded C/C++ development on ARM and includes an Eclipse based Integrated Development Environment, GNU compiler, and Debugging and Analysis tools.

Vitra-XD Features

• Fast, trouble-free “plug-and-play” installation using high-speed USB2.0 or Gigabit Ethernet host interfaces
• Up to 3MB/s download speed particularly suitable for large, complex projects
• World’s fastest trace capture rates:
  • Parallel (up to 16-bits) trace up to 400MHz double-data rate (DDR).
  • Serial Gigabit trace (ARM™ HSSTP). Up to 4 lanes supported at speeds of up to 25.6Gb/s divided by number of lanes e.g. 6.4Gb/s for 4 lanes
  • Captured data can be independently timestamped using Vitra-XD’s 50-bits, 5ns resolution timestamp generator
• World’s largest trace storage:
  • 502GB on-board trace storage memory (2GB DDR3 RAM and 500GB high speed hard-disk). Allows extended trace capture for non-intrusive profiling and code-coverage
  • Automatic trace clock/data skew adjustment (“AUTOLOCK”) to ensure integrity of captured high-speed data. Vitra-XD automatically calibrates itself to your target’s trace data port
  • Real-time trace streaming to host PC through Gigabit Ethernet interface allows unlimited trace capture (pending available host PC disk space)
• Supports all ARM hardware-debug standards including EmbeddedICE, ETM, PTM and CoreSight
• Fine-grained adjustment of JTAG clock frequency from 1kHz to 150MHz. ARM RTCK support
• Multi-core support with full JTAG scan-chain configurability
• Hot-plug support; allows connection to a running target without resetting or halting
• 38-way Mictor, 10 and 20-way CoreSight (0.05”) and legacy 20-way (0.1”) target connector support
• Detects and automatically configures for the appropriate target voltage from 0.4V to 3.6V
• Support for all on-chip hardware breakpoints; unlimited number of software breakpoints
• Configurable Target-Reset and Test-Port-Reset, under full user control
• Universal Hardware-Debug platform for all popular target architectures
• Compact, tower-design form factor

Sourcery CodeBench

With Sourcery™ CodeBench you can develop embedded systems on microcontrollers and microprocessors for bare metal and Linux based applications. Sourcery™ CodeBench is a validated and robust development toolchain based on open-source components and enables C/C++ development, debug and analysis on ARM architectures.

Configuration and use of Vitra-XD is fully integrated into Sourcery CodeBench thus providing full hardware-based debug and trace capabilities including:

• JTAG based board initialization
• Board reset control
• Hardware (ROM/flash) and software
• (RAM) based breakpoints
• Hardware watchpoints (break on data-access)
• Go, Halt and Step control
• Trigger setup (i.e. specify rules for trace capture)
• Trace capture, upload and display
