Why Your Current Debug Tools Aren’t Enough

Standard debugging tools only tell part of the story:

  • Logic analyzers show you signals on the pins but not the firmware decisions driving them.

  • JTAG debuggers let you step through code, but they halt execution and miss real-time events.

  • Neither tool shows cause and effect as it happens inside your embedded system.

  • Both tools waste setup time for each new debug scenario slowing down your debugging.

Only the Active-Pro automatically shows all of the interactions needed to solve the most complex firmware bugs without wasting debug setup time.

Setup Time Wasted for Each Debug Cycle

Comparison of logic analyzers and Active-Pro firmware monitoring. On the left, it shows digital signals for DATA1, DATA2, and CLK with red Xs indicating drawbacks, and states that JTAG debuggers halt CPU, killing embedded functions. On the right, it illustrates Active-Pro recording firmware events like function calls, variable changes, and packet receipt in real time, with a green checkmark indicating its advantage.

Firmware debug output, transitions, states, hardware signals, and bus activity captured in sync, visualized live. Whether you're working on a single or multiple MCUs and FPGAs, it all lines up in one beautiful timeline.

Graph Algorithm Variables

The Active-Pro Debugger shows live internal variables as your algorithm runs, so you can focus on the actual computation, not just the outputs. It’s built to help you fine-tune sensor processing and troubleshoot issues fast by giving you a real-time view into what your code is doing.

Watch Live Debug Output

Viewing firmware debug output alongside hardware signals on a synchronized timeline shows exactly what your system is doing and when. You can instantly see the cause and effect between your code, I/O, and communication events, even across multiple processors, making deep firmware issues much faster to isolate and fix.

Go Inside Interprocessor Communications

The Active-Pro Debugger lets you see both sides of the communication, what's happening on the bus and what your firmware is doing to send and receive it. By combining external signal monitoring with internal trace points, it exposes issues between processors and FPGAs that traditional tools miss.

See Code Impacting Power Usage

The Active-Pro Debugger links source code to current changes during power mode transitions, so you can see exactly what code is running as power ramps up or down. It shows real-time power behavior, helping you tighten up power management code and improve reliability—especially in battery-powered systems.

Capture Real-Time Status Over Long Periods

The Active-Pro Debugger streams all data to disk so you can capture long test cycles without missing anything. While recording, it gives you a live view of system behavior and overlays multiple data streams for full context. It’s built for tough environments like automotive and aerospace, where catching rare issues fast matters.
