Powerful Debug Tool for ARM11 Derivative from Freescale

Universal Debug Engine 2.1 also now available
for i.MX31 Multimedia Applications Processor


Lauta, Germany, September 2007 - In addition to optimized debug tools
for various ARM7 and ARM9 derivatives, pls Programmierbare Logik &
Systeme will also present, for the first time, at ARM Developers
Conference, Booth #611, in Santa Clara, October 2-4 2007, the
Universal Debug Engine (UDE) 2.1 for Freescale's i.MX31 Multimedia
Applications Processor, which is based on a standard ARM1136JF-S core.

The intuitive and configurable user interface of the UDE 2.1 provides
i.MX31 users with unrestricted C/C++ support, a powerful symbol browser,
freely configurable toolbars, extensive context related menus and HTML
as description language for user specific windows. The use of standard
script languages guarantees a high level of automation.

The i.MX31 supported task specific breakpoints can be used easily and
comfortably by means of the UDE 2.1 user interface, which is optimized
for this purpose. Beyond that, the extensive support of the integrated
ETB/ETM unit of the i.MX31 ensures a particularly efficient program
and date trace. The UDE supports visualization and configuration of
the powerful peripheral modules at symbol level with text descriptions.

In combination with the pls Universal Access Device (UAD), download
rates of up to 1MByte/s can be achieved with the UDE 2.1 via the JTAG
interface. This not only allows designers of i.MX31 based multimedia
applications an extremely fast Flash programming, but also short
turnaround times. The Debug Communications Channel (DDC) of the JTAG
interface is used for support of a debug terminal (Simulated I/O).
