Active Debugger

$99.00

Debug firmware faster than a logic analyzer alone, with a real-time view into your running code through the Active Debug Port.

Debug firmware faster than a logic analyzer alone, with a real-time view into your running code through the Active Debug Port.

Key Benefits:

  • You & Your AI can Debug Processors or FPGAs

  • See What Your Firmware is Doing in Real-Time

  • Capture Variables, States, Logic, Analog, Decoded Busses, and Debug Output on Multiple Channels

  • Automatically Graph Internal Variables

  • Trace Events to Source Code

  • Automatic Setup for Fast Debug Cycles

  • Nanosecond Timestamp Accuracy

  • Use on Any Processor or FPGA

Key Features:

  • AI Snapshot Export: Select any region of your capture, press Ctrl+C, and a plain-text trace lands on your clipboard in .aft format. Paste it straight into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any AI chat and ask questions about what your firmware and hardware did. No screenshots, no files to upload.

  • MCP Server: Connect Claude Desktop and let the AI operate the instrument directly. Start and stop captures, search decoded data, drive outputs, and save files from plain-English instructions, with more than 40 tools covering the full Automation API.

  • Active Debug Port: Output real-time debug data—variables, state changes, and custom messages—directly to the software without stopping execution. Messages link to the exact source code lines that generated them, giving you a clear, time-correlated view alongside waveforms, protocols, and current measurements.

  • Real-Time Variable Graphing: Visualize firmware variables as they change dynamically, providing immediate, actionable insights into system behavior.

  • Automatic Packet Field Decoder: Easily analyze standard and proprietary communication protocols with Packet Presenter, which automates field decoding and simplifies complex data streams.

  • Automation API: Integrate the Active-Pro into your custom workflows with scripting support for automated testing and analysis.

  • Data Exporting: Export captured waveforms, debug logs, and decoded protocol data in multiple formats to document findings or integrate results into other tools.

The Active Debugger combines all these capabilities into a single, streamlined device, making it easy to debug microcontrollers, FPGAs, and other embedded systems. By reducing the need for separate tools, it speeds up troubleshooting, simplifies complex workflows, and helps you get to the root of your problems faster.
