TASKING intro­duces the new RH850 Auro­ra Active Probe, designed to estab­lish a con­nec­tion between the tar­get sys­tem and the iC5700 Blue­Box debug and ana­lyz­er plat­form.

RH850 Auro­ra Active Probe enables debug­ging, trac­ing, and test­ing of Rene­sas RH850 micro­con­troller fam­i­lies. Besides the stan­dard LPD debug inter­face it also sup­ports a high-speed Auro­ra trace inter­face oper­at­ing at its max­i­mum fre­quen­cy.

The Active Probe sup­ports up to 2 Auro­ra lanes, run­ning at a max­i­mum bitrate of 5Gbps.

What does an Active Probe do?

An Active Probe con­nects to the debug and/or trace inter­face of a tar­get sys­tem, such as a car’s ECU, cap­tur­ing all MCU-relat­ed activ­i­ties in real-time, includ­ing AUTOSAR OS.

How is that different from a Debug Adapter?

An Active Probe is a high-speed and very reli­able con­nec­tion to an iC5700 Blue­Box that enables advanced analy­sis of com­plex sys­tems.
