Wind River ICE 2:
JTAG Debugging for Multi-core

Multi-core Debugging

• Simultaneously debug up to 16 CPU cores and 32 physical threads visualized in a single contextual interface.
• Synchronized cross-core debug operations allow you to indentify difficult issues introduced with the complexity of a multi-core system.

System-Level Debugging

Wind River® ICE 2 allows the user to resolve complex interactions among kernel, kernel modules, and applications. SMP systems can be represented by treating groups of cores as a single system, allowing TOS awareness, kernel, kernel module, and application debugging.

Virtualized System Bring-Up

Visibility into the hypervisor's object and virtual boards enables bring-up of a virtualized system with multiple guest operating systems.

Take Control of Your System

• Start, stop, and reset your target.
• Single step through code with a correlated source view.
• Set expression-based hardware and software conditional breakpoints.
• View and modify CPU core and peripheral registers with bit-level detail.
• View and modify RAM, cache, and non-volatile memory; supports memory management unit (MMU).
• Utilize board initialization and target register files provided for common device reference platforms.
• Validate address, data bus, and memory with advanced hardware diagnostics.
• Enable quick system setup with flash programming, for example by loading boot loader images into flash.
• Automate target initialization and download sequences with a command shell command-line interface (CLI).

High-Performance Hardware Debugger

• Ethernet interface for remote debugging
• Front-panel LCD to ease configuration and monitoring
• Target console port for viewing your target serial port remotely
• Support of up to 100MHz JTAG clock rates
• User-selectable signal drive strength
• Target adapter connector system

Highly Extensible Solution

• Support for a wide range of processors based on ARM, Intel®, MIPS, and PowerPC architectures.
• Eclipse-based development environment for integration with third-party and home-grown development tools.
• Centralized project-oriented environment to simplify workflow and ease handoff among different phases of development.
• Multi-JTAG connect unit for debugging redundant systems.*

Above and Beyond Board Bring-Up

• Target OS awareness provides kernel visibility for stabilization of the OS, kernel modules, and applications.
• It is integrated and validated to work with the latest versions of VxWorks®, Wind River Linux, and Wind River Hypervisor.
• A multi-JTAG connect unit simultaneously debugs up to four scan chains.*
• Auto-detection of Linux kernel allows for simplified configuration.
