Ashling’s Genia-TriCore Emulator, supplied and supported by Arcadi Systems, is a powerful Networked Emulator for embedded development with Infineon’s TriCore 32-bit embedded microprocessor family
The Genia-TriCore Emulator
connects to the OCDS debug interface port on the target embedded microprocessor.
Genia debugging is completely non-intrusive and requires no target system resources. Together with Ashling’s PathFinder source debugger, Genia provides powerful run/stop control of embedded software, with hardware and software breakpoints. Genia provides fast code download to the target system, and allows control and interrogation of all core-processor and system resources.
Genia incorporates high speed Ethernet, USB and serial connections to the host PC.
Genia and PathFinder provide Flash Programming for On-Chip TC17xx and external Flash memory. The Genia Emulator and PathFinder debugger provide full multi-core debug support for the TriCore Peripheral Control Processor (PCP), with separate windows to view disassembled PCP instructions, PCP memory, registers and context.
Ashling’s TriCore debug products were developed in co-operation with Infineon Technologies.
Source-level Debugger
PathFinder is Ashling's C Source-Level Debugger forTriCore microprocessors, with multiple user-configurable windows, point-and-click, drag-and-drop, hover help and hover data display, splitter windows, menu-bar, button, hot-key and script (macro)-file controls. PathFinder runs on all current versions of Windows. PathFinder’s Object-Oriented Monitoring and Editing System provides tree-structured “click to expand” access to all memory-areas, register sets, registers and bits of the Power Architecture core and co-processors with a logical and friendly Windows display.
PathFinder is the user-interface for the Ashling Genia-TriCore and Vitra-TriCore Emulators for Infineon’s TriCore embedded microprocessor families.
