Chameleon Debugger by Signum Systems (acquired by IAR)



Debugger and/or Simulator

Product Description

Chameleon Debugger provides a consistent user interface to an embedded project at all stages of the development cycle from CPU evaluation to production testing. Chameleon supports many different CPUs and DSPs in plain or Multi-Core (SoC) targets in a single debugging environment. Regardless of the number of CPUs being debugged the software offers the latest debugging features, such as fly-over variable watch, drag and drop variables, Virtual I/O, complex variable implode/explode, script language for automatic testing, symbol browsing, trace window, and more. Step-into, Step-out and Step-over modes are supported for both C and assembly levels. The Flash programming plug-in allows you to program the nonvolatile memory on your target board with ease. Our unique graphical interface for complex events is quick, intuitive and incredibly easy to use.
Easy and intuitive hardware breakpoint settings with full support for all ARM debug capabilities.

Chameleon Features:
• Choice of hardware or software breakpoints in source window.
• Access to variables, registers and peripherals in run-time (without stopping the CPU).
• Integrated co-processor support.
• Automatic switching between ARM and ARM Thumb mode.
• Integrated CodeScope profiling analysis tool.
