DS-5 Debugger

Professional system-wide debug environment for the ARM Architecture 

Overview

The DS-5 Debugger brings together the convenience and productivity of integrated microcontroller tools with the power and flexibility of open source tools for Linux. Its Eclipse-based GUI abstracts the complexity of managing various target connection types and delivers an homogeneous experience for bare-metal, RTOS, and Linux/Android kernel and user spaces debug.

Professional End-to-End Debugger
Single intuitive user interface for all software layers, from bootloader to application debug Debugs code generated by ARMCC and GCC compilers Professionally supported solution, bringing reliability and responsiveness to software development One license for all supported ARM application cores
Advanced Session Control & System Views
Control multiple simultaneous debug sessions, to one or more targets, from a single debugger environment Run and stop mode debugging seamlessly supported Full system visibility: memory, CPU registers, peripheral registers, frame buffer, and more
Non-Intrusive Trace Analysis
ETM and PTM instruction tracing with source code synchronization STM and ITM instrumentation trace support Instruction and function views for trace log analysis Up to 4 GB off-chip trace buffer with DSTREAM
