Wind River ProbeToday’s average device has a millionlines of code. Within the next two years,that number will grow to 2 million. Asapplications get bigger and microprocessorsbecome faster and morecomplex, developers must gain access tothe core processor and its peripherals.They need to see what’s going on inside.Wind River Probe enables engineersto see what’s happening in the systemevery step of the way, from boardbring-up to production and test.Businesses can standardize on acommon, smart, and powerful debuggingtool throughout the developmentprocess, freeing engineering bandwidthfor product innovation. Your entireorganization will profit from shorterdevelopment cycles, higher productquality, reduced cost, and shortertime-to-market.Wind River Probe is a USB connectivitysolution for developers who want toreliably connect their host developmentenvironments to their target underdevelopment. Using the on-chip debuggingcapabilities available in mostembedded microprocessors, Wind RiverProbe enables developers to connect toTable of ContentsComponents .......................................1USB Connectivity ............................1JTAG Connector .............................1Debug Connector ...........................1Host Software Support ......................2Wind River Workbench ...................2On-Chip Debugging API ................2Technical Specifications ......................3Supported Architectures ................3Host OS Support ............................3the target via the JTAG, EJTAG, XDP, orBDM interface and communicateinformation to and from the host PCthrough a USB 1.x- and 2.0-compliantinterface.Wind River Probe has the followingfeatures:USB 2.0 complianceNo external power supply neededSimple plug-and-play host connectionExtensible support of ARM, ColdFire,Intel, MIPS, and Power architecturesSupport for Linux and Windows hostsAdapts to custom hardwareComponentsUSB ConnectivityCombining USB 2.0 compliance withWind River’s JTAG Accelerator technologyensures a fast download speed tothe target using Wind River Probe, as wellas the improved ability to utilize the fullJTAG scan chain. This provides developerswith a more responsive debuginterface compared with parallel portinterface-based probes and productscompliant only with USB 1.x.

Wind River Probe alsoeliminates the need for an external powersupply.JTAG ConnectorWind River Probe provides industryleadingJTAG performance. Able tosupport up to 100MHz JTAG clockspeeds, it far surpasses the requirementsfor any device software CPUproducts available today—so thisproduct will support new silicon frommajor CPU vendors for years to come.Probe supports I/O voltage trackingfrom 0.9v to 3.3v, so it can automaticallyplug and play from one device toanother. Hot insertion lets users plug andplay on the target board without alteringthe target state: Developers no longerneed to reset or power cycle the targetboard once a connection is made orremoved. In addition, Wind River Probe isadaptable to the target board underdevelopment—it can provide slew ratecontrol, JTAG clock skew control, andprogrammable target termination control.Debug ConnectorWind River Probe supports a nextgenerationdebug interface connectormanufactured by Samtec. The Samtecconnector provides better electrical andEmbedded Tools, Ihr langjähriger Partner für alle Wind River EntwicklungswerkzeugeWind River-Compiler, -Workbench, -Probe, -ICE, -ICE2

physical JTAG connections that supporthigh-speed processors through ahigh-speed impedance-controlledconnector. The connector also supportskeying to prevent illegal insertion, supportfor EMI shielding if desired, and hot swapcapability based on its integrated groundcapability. This connector is provided in afootprint similar in size to that of the16-pin JTAG connectors in common use.Customers can deploy the new Samtecconnector on their own hardware to takefull advantage of this leading interconnectsystem. For designs that do not usethe Samtec connector, Wind River Probeoffers adapters to interface withtraditional JTAG/EJTAG/XDP/BDMconnectors.Figure 3: On-Chip Debugging API with On-Chip Debugging UtilityHost Software SupportWind River Probe is supported by thefollowing Wind River software debuggersand APIs.Wind River WorkbenchWind River Probe is fully compatible withWind River Workbench, the industryleading,open, extensible developmentsuite. Wind River Workbench On-ChipDebugging is specifically configured tomeet the needs of developers early in thedevice software development cycle—handling initial board bring-up andvalidation, developing device drivers,incorporating low-level software capabilities,and developing C/C++ applications.Workbench On-Chip Debugging offers afeature-rich development suite optimizedfor the capabilities of JTAG-baseddebugging using Wind River ICE 2 andWind River Probe JTAG debug units.Wind River Workbench contains thefollowing components:Standards-based Eclipse frameworkDevelopment environment: buildsystem, project manager, editor,symbol browser, and static analysisMulti-context-aware debugger: targetconnection support via on-chip debuggingand agent-based solutions (agentsolutions provided with Wind Riverplatform products)Target OS awareness for VxWorks andWind River Linux, supporting bothkernel- and user-mode debugging forLinuxOn-chip debugging target connectionplug-in (TCP) and on-chip debuggingconnection to Wind River Probe;includes on-chip debugging viewsand capabilitiesInstruction set simulator (for supportedarchitectures)Compilers available from Wind Riverfor use with Workbench:- Wind River Diab Compiler: best-inclassoptimizing compiler- Wind River GCC Compiler forVxWorks- Wind River GCC Compiler for LinuxOn-Chip Debugging APIWind River On-Chip DebuggingAPI provides C/C++ and Visual Basicprogrammers with direct access to WindRiver Probe or Wind River ICE 2 JTAGdebug units. This access can be utilizedby engineers in the manufacturingenvironment for flash programming andgaining access to the built-in diagnosticfeatures available in Wind River Probe.Access can also be used as an interfaceto customize software GUIs.Figure 2: Wind River Workbench
