Embedded software tracing tool offrers means for validation and performance optimisation

Percepio AB has released the Tracealyzer for ThreadX from Express Logic, one of the leading embedded RTOS with over five billion units deployed worldwide. It leverages the already existing trace library in ThreadX bringing world-class visualization to thousands of ThreadX developers. The software displays kernel events such as context switches and ISRs as well as middleware events from the NetX, FileX and USBX stacks. Customers can even log their own custom events to visualize any event or data in the firmware. It explicitly supports Renesas Synergy and other ThreadX ports. “Developers using ThreadX will benefit from a significant increase in productivity and better means for validation and performance optimisation,” said Johan Kraft, CEO and founder, Percepio. “The visualization assets mean that issues can be resolved immediately avoiding days or weeks of frustrating blind troubleshooting.”
