Debug Adapters

The ARM tools range offer a number of debug adapters to connect to your target systems:

DSTREAM enables JTAG, SWD, and Trace connection for DS-5, RVD and third party debuggers to ARM-based devices
RVI provides debug-only target connection for DS-5 and RVD debuggers
RVT2 is the legacy companion of RVI, and offers trace connection to RVD users
VSTREAM is a fast and flexible virtual interface that connects software debuggers to hardware assisted verification systems, such as Mentor Veloce and Cadence Palladium.
Keil ULINK is a complete family of Debug Adapters for ARM processor-based microcontrollers

The guide below is an indication of the debug adapters designed for specific applications. To find out more information please view the tabs above.

DSTREAM debug and trace unit provides the DS-5 Debugger with a high performance connection to hardware targets

VSTREAM enables the connection of software debug tools, such as the ARM RVD, to ARM processors running on RTL simulators and hardware emulators.

RVI & RVT2 Target Connection Units

RVI and RVT2 are ARM’s legacy target connection units. The combined debug and trace units provide complete target connection functionality for RVD users

The Keil ULINK family of Debug adapters connects your PC’s USB port to your target system, enabling you to debug embedded programs running on target hardware for ARM and Cortex-M-based microcontrollers
