UDE® Universal Debug Engine - Debug, Trace & Test Tool for Microcontrollers and Embedded Processors
UDE® Universal Debug Engine is the powerful development tool for debugging, tracing, and testing embedded software for a wide range of multicore SoCs and microcontrollers. UDE® combines a comprehensive feature set for high-level language and assembler-level debugging, run-time observation, system visualization, and system-level analysis with efficiency and ease of use. In addition, the UDE® provides extensive capabilities for test automation, in-system FLASH programming, support for a wide range of real-time operating systems, AUTOSAR software development, and more.
- Cross-debugging of embedded software on microcontroller hardware, embedded processors, and virtual prototypes
- Integrated Flash programming tool
- Real-time observation of application data
- Advanced visualization of application data
MultiCore Debugging
UDE® offers a modern and easy-to-use user interface that provides a system-centric view rather than a core-centric view of the multi-core system. The user interface provides a comprehensive and clear view of the entire system or, optionally, of selected parts.
- All cores are visible in a single common user interface
- Core specific colors for windows and toolbar controls
- Multi-Core Run Control for debug synchronization
- Multi-Core / Multi-Program Loader for loading program binaries and managing debug information
- Support for homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-core systems including special cores (e.g. GTM, PPU, SCRM, HSM, PPU, eTPU, etc.)
MultiCore Trace
UDE® offers advanced functions for non-intrusive debugging, testing and run-time analysis based on recorded trace information provided by on-chip trace systems of various microcontrollers and embedded processors.
- Precise and time-exact reconstruction of the program flow.
- Advanced visualization and analyzing functions
- Non-intrusive Code Coverage
- Support for different trace sources / on-chip trace systems
- Support for various trace interfaces
Debug & Test Automation
The UDE® Object Model is an open and flexible software API for scripting, debugging and test automation. The UDE® Object Model is included as part of every UDE® base license (no additional costs).
UDE® Object Model for scripting
- Not tied to a specific scripting language.
- No proprietary script language.
- Use of the scripting language of your choice.
- Support for: Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, Perl, VisualBasic, C#, C++, etc.
UDE® Object Model for seamless tool integration
UDE® Object Model allows a seamless tool integration with 3rd party tools. Several commercial test tool vendors have been successfully adapting the UDE® Object Model for direct access to the embedded target system for years.
HLL & Compiler Support
UDE® provides comprehensive functions for high-Level language (HLL) debugging and debugging of assembly code.
- Support for C, C++, Rust
- Support for device specific assembler languages
- Syntax highlighting
- Mixed Mode feature
- Support for all major cross compilers: HighTec/GNU, Tasking, Keil, Arm®, Wind River®, Green Hills®, etc.
RTOS & AUTOSAR
With additional add-ons, UDE® provides extended functions for software development of real-time critical applications, which are under control of a Real-Time Operating System or for software based on AUTOSAR Classic Platform (CP).
- Support for different RTOSs (e.g. FreeRTOS™, SAFERTOS®, Sciopta, OSEK, PXROS, PXROS-HR, CMX, µC/OSII, rcX) including task trace
- AUTOSAR Awareness including ARTI and ORTI support for debugging and task trace
- Display of RTOS and AUTOSAR objects and states
- Convenient navigation to other UDE® windows
