Express Logic Debuts TraceX 3.1

Express Logic, Inc., a member of the ARM Connected Community, has released TraceXV3.1, an upgrade to its host-based TraceX embedded development tool introduced last year.

TraceX enables embedded developers to visualize and better understand the behavior of their real-time systems. TraceX 3.1 adds additional summary and profiling features that further assist developers in understanding the behavior and performance of their real-time system, the company explained.

Designed to work with Express Logic's ThreadX RTOS, TraceX collects a database of system and application “events” on the target system during run-time. Event logging may be stopped and restarted by the application program dynamically when an area of interest is encountered, which avoids cluttering the database and using up target memory when the system is performing correctly.
