Today’s SoCs are ever increasing in complexity with features such as multiple cores, multiple clusters, heterogeneous compute, coherency, DVFS and multiple architectures. Traditional hardware debug solutions fail to address the entire SoC space and this is where a customized debug and trace solution targeted at your SoC is essential for hardware debug, software development and performance analysis. Based on a real-world example of an ARMv8 case study, the talk takes you through the key steps in architecting, designing and verifying a debug and trace solution for an ARMv8 SoC using advanced ARM® CoreSight™ IP offered by CoreSight SoC-400 product. Thus, showing how you can quickly create an innovative solution to meet the requirements (debug-ability, area and power) of your SoC. Also, you will learn how ARM’s own debug tool, DS-5 Development Studio, provides advanced support for mission critical debug and trace IP.4

Using this case study you’ll learn how to:
  • Design and verify configurable debug and trace solution (easily and quickly) for your complex SoC.
  • Use ARM DS-5 tool to maximize the utility of advanced debug and trace hardware.
  • Use CoreSight technology to help identify areas/functionality of your design that can be optimized both in hardware and software throughout the development process.

Speaker:
Mayank Sharma, Technical Marketing Engineer, Systems & Software Marketing, ARM
As a designer of debug and trace solutions for ARM development platforms, Mayank Sharma recently architected the debug and trace solution for an ARM v8 multi-core platform. He is now part of the Systems & Software Marketing team and brings hands-on experience and technical skills to address ARM partner needs.

Guilherme Marshall, Product Manager, Development Solutions Group, ARM
Guilherme is responsible for DS-5 Development Studio, ARM’s flagship suite of software development tools. With over 14 years’ experience in embedded software development, he joined ARM in 2010 and has since been on a mission to keep ARM as the favorite architecture of software engineers.
