PEmicro Introduces OS-Aware Debug Support for Azure RTOS ThreadX by Juan See Oct 13, 2021 With version 5.1.4 of PEmicro's GDB Server for ARM devices, initial support for Azure RTOS ThreadX is now available. The user does not have to do anything to set it up; the GDB server will automatically detect the presence, type, and configuration of an OS by the querying the application's symbol table for identifying characteristics. Using these discovered symbols, the debugger can traverse the kernel's internal data structures to enumerate the available threads and their corresponding execution context. This information is then used to dynamically populate the Eclipse views as the user navigates between the threads. Read more... PEMicro Supports Debugging with Renesas' e² studio IDE by Steve McGrath Oct 07, 2021 PEmicro has added support for its Multilink and Cyclone tools to Renesas' e² studio IDE. e² studio is an Eclipse-based IDE created by Renesas which supports development and debugging of code on Renesas' Synergy and RA devices. This blog demonstrates the procedures needed to install and then configure PEMicro Multilink and Cyclone debug support in Renesas e2Studio. Read more... PEmicro Legacy Hardware Support Notice (In Effect As of 1 Oct. 2021) by Keith McNeil and Takao Yamada Oct 01, 2021 Beginning October 1, 2021 the latest versions of PEmicro software will only be tested against and designed to work with the following PEmicro hardware interfaces: MULTILINK DEBUG PROBES (2015+) USB ML Universal, Rev. C or later USB ML Universal FX, Rev. B or later USB ML ACP CYCLONE PROGRAMMERS (2016+) Cyclone LC Universal Cyclone LC ARM Cyclone FX Universal Cyclone FX ARM Read more... Update to ICD & PKG Software Licensing by Keith McNeil Jul 23, 2021 PEmicro is changing its licensing for ICD and PKG software, in the same manner as we previously updated PROG software. Effective today, July 23, 2021, the license that activates ICD and PKG will reside on a Cyclone or Multilink debug probe rather than in the software itself. The user who activates the software will choose a Cyclone or Multilink on which to permanently install the license. This allows that hardware interface to work with ICD and PKG on any machine where a supported version of the software is installed. Note that the ICD and PKG software itself is unchanged, it is only the licensing which has been updated. Read more...
