Top-Performing Debug Probe
The Arm DSTREAM-XT is a high-performance probe, that supports PCIe for debugging and tracing over functional IO with fewer dedicated debug and trace pins on the SoC compared to parallel trace ports.
Features and Benefits
Supports debug connections to up to 4096 CoreSight components. The probe supports PCIe Gen 3 (one lane to eight lanes) or PCIe Gen 4 (one to four lanes), providing a total trace bandwidth of up to 64Gbps.
The probe has a 16GB on-board buffer for recording a deep history of trace.
DSTREAM-XT and Arm Development Studio were made for each other. Access powerful Arm Development Studio features, like the ability to auto-detect SoC components.
More Features
Greatly shorten debug cycles on single or multi-core devices with code download speeds up to 12 MB per second, JTAG rates up to 180 MHz, and SWD rates up to 125MHz.
Capture extensive trace data supporting maximum single rate of 16 Gbps and 64 Gbps total bandwidth.
Remote gigabit ethernet or USB 3.0 host connections for remote and fast accessibility.
Developers can leverage their tools of choice as the product’s flexible architecture can support a wide variety of third-party IP and debuggers.
Works with complex SoC configurations for trace data capture in Arm CoreSight Macrocells, such as ETM, PTM, ITM and STM.
The DSTREAM-XT supports Arm processor based hardware targets with CoreSight trace supported
Use Cases
Device Bring-up
Develop and debug SoCs and test hardware prior to transferring the optimized software to production hardware.
Firmware Development
Develop and debug firmware such as low-level device drivers that are specifically optimized for different production boards.
OS Level Design
Develop and optimize higher-level code, such as the real-time operating system and applications, so they run within specified parameters.
Instruction Trace Analysis
Fast, deep local trace storage enables use of ETM and PTM to help review execution path for bugs or function-level profiling in Arm Development Studio.
