The PowerPC
®
Solution
for Development, Debug and Test
Highlights
Get the best PowerPC® solution on the market
Accelerate your development cycle
Reduce debug time and improve productivity
Identify system defects
Optimize system performance
Improve product quality
Implement a flexible, cost-effective solution
Your system requirements are getting increasingly complex.
You need more features and more system speed to be
competitive. The time-to-market window keeps shrinking,
increasing the pressure for a successful release. But as
development and test time shrink, you cant compromise
product quality or youll have even bigger problems.
To deal with all this, you need tools that maximize
productivity and are still easy to learn. And they should
work not only for this project, but for the next one too.
Applied Microsystems offers a PowerPC® Solution that
meets all these requirements and more. Our PowerPC
solution spans the entire project cycle, including system
development, debug and test. To find out more,
read on. Then call your Applied Microsystems representative.
Because your schedule isnt going to wait.
Superior PowerPC

Connect your PowerPC system to
your favorite debugger
Connect your PowerPC system to
your Ethernet network without
using target resources
Save development time with fast
code downloads
Lower your tool costs with a
reusable debugging tool
Trace software execution in real-
timeeven out of cache
Trace embedded programs at
source, control-flow, or high level
Capture over 100 thousand
source lines of execution in
Deep Trace mode
Use powerful triggering and
trace display options to
zero in on problems
The Most Flexible
Solution Available
Applieds PowerPC Solution brings
you the most powerful tools available
for embedded software developers.
Supporting all versions of the
PowerPC processor, it provides the
key link that facilitates software
development activities over the
network. Source-level debugging can
be executed from any network host
without Ethernet hardware or
software on the target system.
In addition, the PowerPC Solution
amplifies the power of source-level
debuggers using a Virtual UART,
which provides a network
communication path through which
host-based debuggers can
communicate with target-based
monitors.
No PowerPC tools provide a wider
range of download options, host
software and low-cost debugging
support.
Unmatched Trace Capabilities
Applieds PowerPC Solution also
provides a powerful trace capability,
enabling you to trace the execution
history of your program. In normal
mode, the trace buffer captures the
equivalent of 10 thousand source
lines of execution. In deep mode this
history approaches 500 thousand
lines of source execution. Powerful
triggering, storage and display
options give you unprecedented
visibility into your programs
behavior.
Trace can be displayed at three
levels of abstraction: high-level
trace, control flow trace, and
source trace. High-level trace shows
RTOS events and function executions
to give you the big picture of
program flow. Control flow trace adds
the dimension of displaying each
executed decision statement within
the executed function. Source trace
Applieds Solution
fits easily into your
host environment, and lets
you use any debugger for
PowerPC software
development
and debug.
Link your host and target
over your Ethernet LAN
without using target
resources.
Get a ROM connection
and run control for
every PowerPC
processor and enhance
the capabilities of
your debug monitor.
PowerPC Solution
trace displays are
remarkably easy to
follow, even for
first time users.
adds all executed source statements
to the display, revealing the complete
execution history.
As special, productivity-boosting
feature, loops in the trace display are
collapsed, so that instead of countless
recurrences of the same statement in
the trace, they are consolidated into
one statement with a count displayed.
And since each captured statement is
time-stamped, you can easily measure
such items of interest as loop times
and path execution times.
The PowerPC Solution offers
powerful triggering, versatile
software-oriented displays, and the
deepest trace on the market today,
with no pre-fetch or cache execution
confusion. It even traces dynamically
relocated code! It all adds up to the
best value in PowerPC tools available!
Program trace can be displayed in high-level mode where only task
activity and function entries and exits are shown.
Its easy to follow program flow with this big picture view.
Trace can also be displayed in in source-level and control-flow views.
PowerPC Software Test
and Verification Options
You can choose to put additional,
powerful test and verification
capabilities into your PowerPC
solution. These options let you:
Identify bottlenecks and optimize
your PowerPC code performance
Observe exactly how your PowerPC
code is operating
Investigate your code execution
and improve your testing coverage
Locate memory leaks and pointer
errors before you ship your
product
Find and fix defects earlier in the
development & test process
By applying these tools at the unit,
integration and system testing stages,
many defects can be detected and
corrected earlier in the development
cyclereducing costs, improving
reliability and improving
predictability.
