Lauterbach is the world’s largest producer of complete, modular and upgradeable microprocessor development tools worldwide with experience in making world class debuggers and real-time trace since 1979.

Our product line TRACE32^® supports technologies like JTAG, SWD, NEXUS or ETM with embedded debuggers and software and hardware trace. This support is provided for almost 100 cores deployed in over 5000 chip families like ARC, Arm^® Cortex^®-A/-R/-M, Neoverse and Armv9, RISC-V^®, Power Architecture^®, TriCore^™, RH850, Xtensa^® etc.

LDRA–Lauterbach integration delivers complete code coverage, test case verification and certification compliance for broad range of applications and platforms.

LDRA has integrated the LDRA tool suite with the Lauterbach TRACE32 Debugger and Simulator. Lauterbach’s hardware-assisted debug tools ease the interface to the embedded device, enabling developers to download and fully test an application on the target. Thanks to the interface, rigorous safety-critical testing and certification—a traditionally time-intensive, manual process—is automated, enabling a broad range of microcontroller and processor-based applications to achieve medical (IEC 62304), industrial safety (IEC 61508), automotive (ISO 26262) and avionics (DO-178B/C) compliance.

An extension to the LDRA tool suite uses the TRACE32 Debugger to download the code being tested on the target and provide a mechanism for results capture back to the host via a one-click button added into the TRACE32 in-circuit debugger (ICD). Given the limited resources of some embedded devices, the integration offers two options for dynamic analysis of executing code. If memory is limited, test results can be streamed back to the host via the ICD. However, if performance is important and memory available, test results can be compressed on the target and uploaded at a suitable time via the one-click upload button.
