A demonstration of Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition

Technology Overview Learn how to use Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition to debug embedded software at three different stages of a project.  The video covers the following different stages of running a debug environment...

View Video

• Expand traditional software debug and gain visibility into the state of the hardware or model
• Cross-trigger the software debugger from a hardware event
• Cross-trigger the Veloce emulator from a breakpoint in the software
• Trace execution history without instrumenting the code
• Correlate power consumption and cache utilization to software execution

• User Community to interact and discuss design and development questions with peers and Sourcery CodeBench engineers
• Technical support from open source experts
• Comprehensive documentation including detailed getting started guides
