Benefits

Debug Faster and with Greater Confidence Using Full JTAG Emulation for the Most Advanced Devices

Improved Effectiveness in Debugging Hardware-Software Integration Issues

As devices become more complex, leading semiconductor vendors continue to make investments in the JTAG control block on their systems on chip (SOCs), providing more debugging horsepower and capability to both hardware and software developers. Use the Wind River ICE 2 JTAG emulators to achieve the early access and control of the target you need to debug today's advanced 32-bit and 64-bit SOCs.

Take advantage of the tight integration between Wind River ICE 2, Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging, and Wind River On-Chip Debugging API to standardize on a single debugging solution across the entire product development team, resulting in greater productivity and value throughout the entire project development life cycle.

Wind River ICE 2 supports a broad range of productivity-enhancing features and capabilities from advanced hardware diagnostics, flash programming, and run control to internal trace support and optional external trace for supported processors. Adapt ICE 2 to your evolving development engineering needs through its ability to support next-generation, complex multicore SOC and trace solutions with easy to deploy software updates.

Access Wind River ICE 2 from anywhere via its 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface. Remote developers can work with all the features of ICE 2 for round-the-clock access to shared prototypes.

High-Performance JTAG

Debug quickly and confidently with Wind River's JTAG Accelerator technology, which enables ICE 2 to incorporate maximum efficiency scheduling that uses 100 percent of the available JTAG bandwidth. ICE 2 eliminates slow download times and slow response to run-control (step in, step out, and single step) when developing with on-chip debugging microprocessors. New hardware logic optimizes ICE 2's JTAG communications, so you benefit from dramatically improved debugging performance, and you get out of the lab sooner.

Go Multicore

Connect with and debug up to 16 cores simultaneously. Simplify development of complex multicore systems. Visualize and control all connected cores at the same time by integrating ICE 2's JTAG Server and JTAG Accelerator technologies with Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging, Wind River's industry-leading Eclipse-based cross-target development environment. Wind River's patent-pending technology gives you the responsiveness to stop multiple cores promptly for an accurate view of memory state and system registers so that you can diagnose system issues efficiently.

Advanced System Diagnostics with the Wind River Trace 2

The optional real-time, external Wind River Trace 2* unit empowers developers targeting ARM9-based processors with ETMv1 debug, analyze, and resolve the most challenging system issues, such as difficult to debug target crashes that defy postmortem debugging via register and memory access. Trace 2 includes a 1GB trace buffer with the ability to capture real-time trace at clock speeds up to 200MHz. Fast hardware-based buffer post-processing and integration with Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging enable efficient viewing, analysis, and navigation of trace information.
