The DSTREAM™ high-performance debug and trace unit enables powerful software debug and optimization on any ARM processor-based hardware target. DSTREAM enables the connection of RVD, DS-5 Debugger and third party debuggers to ARM-based devices via JTAG or Serial-Wire Debug.
DSTREAM uses FPGA acceleration to deliver high download speeds and fast stepping through code on single and multi-processor devices. With features such as Virtual Ethernet for mounting of remote files systems without additional drivers or I/O ports, accelerated hardware bring-up for many development platforms, and open debug interface for use with third-party tools, DSTREAM is a comprehensive solution for development and debug of complex SoCs.
Trace is an essential tool for the resolution of complex software/hardware and timing-related issues, as it enables post-analysis of a software execution without the need for any software or hardware instrumentation. The 4 GB trace buffer on DSTREAM enables high-bandwidth trace for long periods of time, providing further visibility of how the software is executed on the target.
