Lauterbach to deliver debug support for Wind River operating systems

Lauterbach, the leading manufacturer of microprocessor development tools, and Wind River, a global leader in software for intelligent connected systems, are working together to ensure interoperability between all Wind River operating systems and the comprehensive debuggers built by Lauterbach.

TRACE32®, the in-circuit debug and trace solutions of Lauterbach will support all new releases of Wind River operating systems, including the latest Wind River Linux, VxWorks (including Virtualization Profile), and VxWorks 653 platforms. In cooperation with Wind River, Lauterbach has begun efforts to build "OS Awareness" functionality, targeting all architectures that Wind River supports, e.g. Intel x86/x64, Power Architecture, ARM (Cortex), MIPS etc. 

"The close collaboration of both companies will ensure a tight alignment of the tool versions," said Barry Lock, UK Manager at Lauterbach. "As new OS versions are released, an appropriate debug solution will also be available. " Pictured Barry Lock, UK Manager, Lauterbach

Lauterbach tools have become a favourite with many hi-tech engineers, and the company is recognised for both engineering excellence and exceptional technical support. Lauterbach tools support all the major families of microprocessor cores, covering products from 75 silicon companies. The quality and capability of Lauterbach tools enable engineering teams to develop robust code whilst minimising development time lost to debugging.

The TRACE32 debugger provides a dedicated OS awareness for each Wind River OS platform. After loading the awareness function, the debugger displays tables of all OS objects, such as tasks and semaphores, and gives detailed information of each object. In addition, stack coverage provides an overview of how much stack each task consumed. The interpretation stack frame itself shows the call hierarchy of each task, including the service call that led to the pre-emption of a task.

Lauterbach will be exhibiting and presenting workshops at the UK Device Developers’ Conference to be held in Reading, Cambridge, Manchester and Uphall (Scotland) during May and June 2015. More details at www.device-developer-conference.co.uk
