About PLS

PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme GmbH is the manufacturer of the debugger, trace and test framework Universal Debug Engine® (UDE), one of the leading development tools for 16/32-bit and 64-bit microcontroller applications, specializing in the AURIX, TriCore, Power Architecture, Cortex, S32, ARM, RH850, SH-2A, XE166, XC2000, XScale derivatives.

UDE combines powerful capabilities for debugging, testing and system-level analysis of multi-core systems and deeply embedded microcontrollers with efficiency and ease of use. The Universal Access Device product family completes the full featured debug solution with a fast, flexible and robust access to the target embedded systems.

Multi-core debugging and trace

  • Comfortable multi-core debugging and visualization
  • Core perspectives and core-specific coloring
  • Flexible core groups and multi-core breakpoints allow a synchronous start, stop, and single step
  • Support for SoCs with heterogeneous cores including eTPU, GTM, and HSM
  • Parallel capturing and visualization of multiple trace sources
  • Offline analysis of traces
  • Easy configuration of on-chip trace filters and trigger logic
  • Fast find in large trace data

Trace data analysis at system level

  • Profiling provides important runtime information for finding bottlenecks in applications quickly
  • Code coverage analysis helps ensuring software quality and fulfilling requirements of ISO26262
  • No influence on runtime behavior of application, no instrumentation required
  • Branch coverage can be calculated from trace even for highly optimized code (special compiler extension required)
  • Improved charts visualize code execution and program data

Comprehensive software object model

  • Open interface to all functional features of UDE
  • Based on Microsoft Component Object Model (COM)
  • Debug and test automation by scripting
  • Support for Perl, Python, Java, VB Script, Power Shell, C/C++, .NET, etc.
  • Tool interface for third party tools

Compiler and RTOS support, Eclipse integration

  • Support for C/C++ cross compilers from different vendors:
  • HighTec/GNU, Tasking, Keil, ARM, Wind River, Green Hills, etc.
  • Awareness of various RTOS like PXROS, CMX, μC/OSII, rcX, AUTOSAR/OSEK, FreeRTOS and SafeRTOS
  • Eclipse plug-in for UDE offers complete cross debugger functionality
