Wind River Workbench, On-Chip Debugging Edition offers the industry's most complete end-to-end development environment for on-chip debugging. Workbench On-Chip Debugging takes you from early hardware bring-up to test and manufacturing with a centralized development solution. The advanced hardware diagnostics and patent-pending multicore debugging capabilities help you unlock the power of semiconductor technology.



Overview Features Benefits Hardware Support Services User Support

Centralized Debugging and Analysis

Workbench On-Chip Debugging provides a centralized, standards-based development environment that automates the debugging and analysis process. Its project-oriented methodology simplifies the handoff between various phases of development, from initial hardware bring-up to firmware design, OS implementations, and platform and application development. The hardware diagnostics, Flash programming, and scripting capabilities of Workbench On-Chip Debugging expedite initial development phases. Wind River On-Chip Debugging API allows manufacturing and test engineers to employ the same Wind River ICE 2, Wind River ICE, and Wind River Probe hardware used in hardware development, as well as leverage existing tools throughout the design and implementation process.

Powerful Eclipse-Based Environment

Workbench On-Chip Debugging software is based on the Eclipse framework, providing the Device Software Optimization (DSO) industry's only integrated JTAG debugging environment that can be easily extended through in-house, third-party, open source, or commercially available Eclipse plug-ins. Wind River on-chip debugging solutions enable you to take advantage of the growing Eclipse ecosystem to improve collaboration between hardware, firmware, and software developers, ensuring a smooth handoff in the debug process.

Advanced Hardware Diagnostics

The traditional hardware diagnostics process can be time-consuming and requires detailed knowledge of processor technology and multiple debug tools. As you move from debugging single core 8-bit and 16-bit processors to multicore 32-bit or 64-bit processors, you need a more innovative hardware diagnostic toolset that supports a wide range of advanced processors. Workbench On-Chip Debugging was designed for these complex system-on-chip (SoC) microprocessors, and you don't need to rely on the availability of target firmware—all hardware initialization is performed by the emulator via the processors' JTAG interface.

Scalable, Robust On-Chip Debugging

Workbench On-Chip Debugging introduces patent-pending technology that solves one of the biggest challenges of embedded software development in a multicore environment: diagnosing and analyzing embedded application behavior across multiple processors on a single board, or across multiple boards within a system.

This sophisticated debugging software supports up to 16 separate cores, enabling you to synchronize the start and stop of multiple cores from a central location. You can also easily visualize each core and its debug information to quickly locate and isolate problems. Additional breakpoint management enables cross-correlation of breakpoints to stop a specific processor—or even the entire system—when the breakpoint is hit. Combined with error tracking and cache management, this provides the most sophisticated on-chip debugging solution for multicore environments.

RoHS/WEEE Compliance

All products shipped by Wind River are in compliance with European Union RoHS and WEEE requirements.
