new products TRACE 32 debugger integrates with LabVIEW Lauterbach has integrated its TRACE32 debugger to the LabVIEW graphical development tool from National Instruments. Test, measurement and control applications built with LabVIEW can now use TRACE32 to control the hardware, acquire data and run tests via the JTAG interface. LabVIEW applications consist of several graphical controls and ‘virtual instruments’ connected with graphical data paths. Usually you have an input device, some data processing instruments and an output or visualization device. By connecting the appropriate devices, called ‘virtual instruments’, with data paths, you get a complete data processing application. TRACE32 PowerDebug is a hardware based debugger targeted to all common CPUs used in the embedded ﬁeld. A graphical user interface allows visual debugging, while a powerful script language can execute extensive automated test scenarios. The integration between TRACE32 and LabVIEW brings the strengths of both tools together. Lauterbach built several virtual instruments, that can be used in an LabVIEW application. For example you can control the target’s program execution, use memory accesses as data input or output channels, or use the target hardware as data processing unit. The developer gets the full control over the embedded device from within LabVIEW, without the need of an external communication interface. The whole control and communication is done via TRACE32 and the JTAG line. The complete integration is available to all Lauterbach customers with an active support contract without any further fees. Also the TRACE32 debuggers from Lauterbach now support the ARM Cortex-A9 multicore processor. The Cortex-A9 Program Trace Macrocell provides non-intrusive program-ﬂow trace capabilities for either of the Cortex-A9 processors for full visibility into the processor’s instruction ﬂow and enabling proﬁling analysis. The TRACE32 tools further support the CoreSight technology for the Cortex-A9 processor. It extends the debug and trace capability to cover the entire system-on-chip including multiple ARM processors and DSPs. www.lauterbach.com Green Hills releases secure device management solution Green Hills Software’s Device Management Solution enables customers to securely perform in-ﬁeld and remote diagnostics, debugging, upgrade, and management of deployed software. Devices are increasingly networked, perform critical functions requiring in-ﬁeld maintenance, and discharge an evolving role requiring in-service software upgrades. Designers require a device management solution that cannot be hacked. 38 Green Hills Software’s Secure Device Management Solution is built upon the INTEGRITY separation kernel, the ﬁrst and only operating system to be accepted by a U.S. NIAP lab into a high assurance (EAL6+) security evaluation. Communications are secured by a certiﬁable suite of cryptographic protocols - not the open source implementations frequently found to contain security ﬂaws. Furthermore, attestation (using hardware-based mechanisms such as a Trusted Platform Module, if available) of device management software and any remotely loaded patches is enforced. Green Hills’ solution ensures that only authorized users and applications can access, control, and modify the device. It can be deployed in products that make use of any general purpose and/ or real-time operating system. www.ghs.com AUGUST – SEPTEMBER 2008 | embedded systems design europe | www.embedded.com/europe 038_ESDE.indd 38 28/08/08 16:02:18 http://www.lauterbach.com http://www.ghs.com http://www.embedded.com/europe
