🟡 J-Trace Streaming Trace Probes

SEGGER J-Trace streaming trace probes provide detailed insight into the runtime behavior of embedded software. By capturing complete instruction traces over extended periods, J-Trace helps developers analyze program execution, identify hard-to-reproduce problems and optimize application performance.

Overview: J-Trace Trace Probe

SEGGER J-Trace is a family of professional streaming trace probes for detailed analysis of embedded software execution. Unlimited streaming trace, Live Code Profiling and Live Code Coverage help developers investigate difficult software problems, analyze performance and understand program behavior over extended periods.

J-Trace supports Windows, macOS and Linux and integrates with a wide range of embedded development environments. SEGGER's Ozone debugger provides additional trace analysis capabilities independent of the compiler toolchain.

Different J-Trace PRO models support Arm Cortex-M, Cortex-A/R/M and RISC-V targets, combining high-speed streaming trace with full J-Link debug functionality.

J-Trace PRO

J-Trace PRO is setting a new standard for trace probes. It enables continuous streaming trace, lifting the limitations by internal buffers and slow data transmission to give you all the insights you need to develop and optimize your code.

  • Streaming trace probe with SuperSpeed USB3.0 interface and Gigabit Ethernet
  • Download speed up to 4 MB/s
  • Unlimited breakpoints in flash memory (Unlimited Flash Breakpoints)
  • Use with Ozone and J-Flash
  • Real-time streaming at full System Clock
  • Fine-tune applications with Live Code Profiling
  • Instruction-level code coverage to satisfy regulatory requirements
  • Unlimited trace to isolate & identify hidden code defects
  • Supports all popular devices (Arm, RISC-V. Microchip PIC32, Renesas RX, SiLabs 8051, Cadence Tensilica)
  • Full J-Link debug functionality

J-Trace PRO can capture complete traces over long periods—thereby enabling the recording of infrequent,
hard-to-reproduce bugs. This is particularly helpful when the program flow 'runs off the rails' and stops in
a fault state.
It also supports extended trace features, such as code coverage (so engineers have visibility over which
parts of the application code have been executed) and execution profiling (providing visibility as to which
instructions have been executed and how often—so hotspots can be addressed and optimization
opportunities identified).

J-Trace PRO Cortex-A/R/M

Overview

SEGGER's J-Trace PRO-A/R/M can capture complete traces over long periods — thereby enabling the recording of infrequent, hard-to-reproduce bugs. This is particularly helpful when the program flow 'runs off the rails' and stops in a fault state.

It also supports extended trace features, such as Live Code Coverage (so engineers have visibility over which parts of the application code have been executed) and Live Code Profiling (providing visibility as to which instructions have been executed and how often, so hotspots can be addressed and optimization opportunities identified).

The J-Trace PRO Cortex-A/R/M provides support for Cortex-A/R/M-based microcontrollers. The Superspeed USB 3.0 interface of J-Trace PRO enables continuous streaming trace via USB with the full trace clock. Streaming in real time allows for data capture over long periods of time because there is no limit set on the amount of trace data. This gives you all the insight you need to develop and optimize your code.

J-Trace PRO Cortex-M

Features

SEGGER's J-Trace PRO-M can capture complete traces over long periods — thereby enabling the recording of infrequent, hard-to-reproduce bugs. This is particularly helpful when the program flow 'runs off the rails' and stops in a fault state.

It also supports extended trace features, such as Live Code Coverage (so engineers have visibility over which parts of the application code have been executed) and Live Code Profiling (providing visibility as to which instructions have been executed and how often, so hotspots can be addressed and optimization opportunities identified).

The J-Trace PRO Cortex-M provides support for Cortex-M-based microcontrollers. Its SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface enables continuous streaming trace at full trace clock speed. Since trace data can be streamed continuously to the host computer, developers can capture and analyze system behavior over extended periods without being limited by an internal trace buffer.
