Debug and Trace using ARM System Trace Macrocell | STM

Multicore architectures. Multi-threading software. Power management. The capabilities for SoCs has skyrocketed over the last few years. Thatโ€™s just great! Until a system bug occurs of course. Oops! Then lifeโ€™s not so great anymore.

Recently a new game changer was introduced for software debug: STM, System Trace Macrocell. This new chip capability is a breakthrough for software designers because it provides code and system visibility without compromising performance. A top-level view of the entire system that relates a bug back to its root cause in a software thread or hardware peripheral port. Or simply find and eliminate software inefficiencies. In real-time. Now thatโ€™s a dream come true!

Welcome to the exciting new world of software debugging introduced by the Ariumโ„ข SourcePointยฎ debugger expert Larry Traylor.
