Infineon traces
- Improved handling of Infineon MCDS traces.
- Improved error handling.
- The interactive tracing via Infineon DAS can now be done remotely.
- The tracing via DAS is attempted three times in case of connection problems or similar issues.
PowerPC BHM traces
- Improved handling of interrupts.
- Generalized trace parser.
Other trace formats
- Better handling of iSYSTEM winIDEA CSV export traces.
- Improved thread-switch handling for PPC Lauterbach ASCII traces.
Reporting
- Export to the XML report file of all trace snippet runtimes encountered.
- Now reporting whether a trace snippet has stopped before reaching a valid end.
- Reporting potential entry points in case no trace snippet could be extracted.
Other improvements
- Support for partial trace snippets, complemented by a new option to only allow complete traces during analysis.
- The start-point selection for TimeWeaver analyses now offers a list of potential entry points encountered in the trace file(s).
- Improved thread-switch detection.
- Improved trace-iterative decoding.
- You can now specify the addresses
of interrupt service routines, enabling the trace converter to correctly
identify interrupts and avoid them from being resolved as potential control-flow targets:
attribute "interrupts": address(match("interrupt_vector_[0-9]+"));
