SEGGER J-Trace PRO for Cortex-M

Description

J-Trace PRO for Cortex-M is setting a new standard for trace probes. It enables continuous streaming trace via its Gigabit Ethernet interface, lifting the limitations by internal buffers and slow data transmission.

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 of 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 is a JTAG debug probe designed for Cortex-M cores which includes trace (ETM) support. It can also be used as a J-Link. When used as J-Link, ARM7/9 cores can also be debugged but tracing on them is not supported.
