Beyond Semiconductor and Lauterbach announce that the TRACE32 debuggers from Lauterbach fully support the Beyond BA22 family of processor cores. The TRACE32 tools provide quick, effective BA22 processor debugging through a standard JTAG interface for the entire debug process, including code download, flash programming and source code debugging. These tools can be connected to either Windows or Linux hosts via USB 2.0 or Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports. The included TRACE32 PowerView software provides an efficient and user-friendly high-level language debugger for C and C++, as well as Linux operating system awareness.
The Beyond BA22 family is a fast, compact, power-saving implementation of a modern 32-bit RISC architecture. The configurable processor IP family extends from deeply-embedded CPUs ideal for demanding, ultra-low-power SoC designs, up to high-performance application processor cores running operating systems such as Linux. High performance/power and performance/area efficiencies coupled with this configurability make the BA22 an excellent replacement for 8-bit 8051 CPUs while also providing a competitive long-term upgrade path for system designers.
