Benefits

Debug Faster and with Greater Confidence from a Host PC Using Wind River JTAG Emulation

Building Products, Faster

Be more efficient with the fastest high-speed USB connection between a host debugger and a target microprocessor for PC-based development with Wind River Probe's high-performance emulation system. Probe offers industry-leading download speeds, overall debug throughput, and unprecedented debug efficiency.

Perform common source-level debug activities—such as watching memory and controlling large numbers of registers—in a matter of seconds. With Wind River Probe, you can shorten edit/compile/download/debug cycles and make more turns, even with the most complex of applications.

High-Performance JTAG

Debug quickly and confidently with Wind River's JTAG Accelerator technology, which enables Probe to incorporate maximum efficiency scheduling that uses 100 percent of the available JTAG bandwidth. Probe eliminates slow download times and slow response to run control (step in, step out, and single step) when developing with on-chip debugging microprocessors. New hardware logic optimizes Probe's JTAG communications so that you benefit from dramatically improved development performance, and you get out of the lab sooner.
