The TRACE32 PowerTools are designed with an open debug environment that offers sophisticated features for quick and effective testing of your embedded design.

The optional ETM trace port analyzer allows detection of complex errors that only occur under run-time conditions as well as powerful performance and run-time statistic analysis to optimize the program s behavior.
