The beta program will run until 1 August 2020. Interested parties can download Tracealyzer with embedded Linux support now. The program also includes a free 45-day evaluation license and users will also qualify for exclusive discounted offers on Tracealyzer licenses up until 1 August.
Tracealyzer 4.4 with Linux tracing support takes low-level trace data and transforms it into a rich set of overviews to allow top-down exploratory analysis. The software makes it simple to see anomalies and drill down for further details. This provides a higher level of confidence during debugging, verification and performance optimization.
Linux-oriented improvements include:
Visual Trace Diagnostics for Linux – Easily spot anomalies in visual overviews and zoom in on the bugs.
Rich set of high-level overviews for top-down exploratory analysis, including process interactions, process forking, CPU usage, RAM usage, I/O usage, file usage, state machines and user-defined metrics.
Trace view for showing the details, scalable for large Linux traces with respect to both responsiveness and clarity. This has been optimized for Linux traces and now includes process trees, forking and system calls.
A Modern and Flexible User Interface – Customizable window layout allows users to have the right information on-screen for analysis. Save and load multiple layouts to suite each use-case.
User-defined Advanced Analysis – Adapt Tracealyzer to specific use cases via customizable event interpretation, user-defined data sets such as Intervals and State machines and display in highly configurable views.
Open Standards – Leverages CTF, the Common Trace Format, using the widely supported LTTng tracing framework.
Percepio CEO and founder Dr. Johan Kraft comments: “There is a tremendous potential to improve embedded software development via better insight into the runtime system, especially for complex software systems based on Linux. For embedded application developers to really benefit from software tracing in everyday development, proper tools for visual trace diagnostics are key as these tools allow developers to quickly make sense of large software traces, identify bugs
