software trace/debugging tools

Hi all,

Some time ago I bumped into some feature for code testing/evaluation/tracing. The needed software was running on ActiveX server. But now I forgot how it's named and where I can find it. Does this ring someone's bell? I can't find it anymore...

The developper was able to track the code and the tracking software views which calls went bad under which conditions and how often.

Best regards,

Tjarco

    Hi Tjarco,

    For what version of CCS did you use this tool/pulg-in with?

    Thanks

    Hi Ki,

    Thank you for your responds.

    It's for CCS5.5 and I thought you were able to track the (amount of) functions (calls) and export as xls? Don't know exactly if it was used in CCS5.5, i didn't need it at that time. Now I forgot what the plugin/tool was. I would like to use suck a tool on C2000 targets for code verification.

    Another tool would be nice, a C2000 simulator (software based core) for test purpose. Sometimes it's useful to have a software target being able to evaluate the code without a (questionable or unstable) target board.

    Best regards,

    Tjarco

    This actually sounds like the CCS function profiler. But this feature wasn't supported on C2000 so I am assuming it was some 3rd party static code analysis tool. There are so many plug-ins out there so I can't say a particular one comes to mind. Hopefully it will ring a bell for others.

    We used to support C2000 simulators in the past. But because of lack of demand and the availability of low-cost C2000 development kits, we removed support for it. We do not have any plans to bring back this support. Sorry.
