TRACE32® from Lauterbach Provides Support for Telechips’ Dolphin+, Dolphin3 SoCs and VCP MCU for Automotive Infotainment and ADAS

Lauterbach, the world’s leading supplier of debug and trace tools, announces the addition of support for Telechipsí Dolphin+ (TCC803x) and Dolphin3 (TCC805x) SoCs as well as the VCP (TCC70xx) MCU to their TRACE32® development system. TRACE32® is an out-of-the-box debug and trace solution, which covers all the needs of a modern embedded software development, like multicore debugging and tracing for symmetric (SMP) and asymmetric (AMP) multiprocessing, hypervisor and operating system-awareness, or code coverage analysis.

“Telechips’ Dolphin+ and Dolphin3 SOCs have been targeting IVI and Automotive Cockpit system such as Digital Cluster, HUD (Head Up Display) and AVM (Around View Monitoring). Dolphin+ and Dolphin3 are designed based on ARM® Cortex® multi-cores and a powerful GPU bringing excellent 3D Graphics.” said Stanley Kim, VP of Business Unit at Telechips. “Telechips’ recently launched MCU product line called VCP (Vehicle Control Processor) MCU having capabilities of handling whole the automotive smart functional systems supporting various applications such as Telematics, Digital Cluster, CID (Central Information Display), Wireless Charger as well as IVI and can be operated with extremely low power consumptions over a wide scalability and an advanced functional safety.”

For infotainment systems with frequent usage of flash storage devices, memory aging can be a significant risk for the reliability of the whole system. Lauterbach’s TRACE32 tools allow for an efficient way of logging target activity with minimum or almost zero application overhead in order to estimate life-time of memory devices and improve reliability.

In the design of safety-critical systems, tool qualification is essential in order to be able to qualify a project according to safety standards. To simplify tool qualification, Lauterbach provides the Tool Qualification Support Kit (TQSK), which provides a series of tests and pre-qualified results that allow the TRACE32 tools to be used as a certified device for the collection and preparation of code coverage reports based upon trace data provided by the target device.
