Turning the Cypress Super Speed Explorer Kit into a Continuous 200MS/s Logic Analyzer
Today we are proud to announce the release of Analyzer2Go 2.0 – our product that turns development boards into powerful logic analyzers. This release adds support for the Cypress SuperSpeed Explorer Kit that is capable of streaming data to the computer over the ultra-fast USB 3.0 interface at >350MB/sec, resulting in reliable 200MHz sampling rate when using 8 channels or 100 MHz when using 16 channels. The SuperSpeed Explorer Kit is the perfect board to be used as a logic analyzer due to its highly programmable peripheral interface module and in this post I will explain to you how it works and how you can use it to add extremely fast connectivity to your designs.

Announcing VisualGDB 5.4 Preview 3 with Segger J-Trace support
Today we are excited to announce the release of VisualGDB 5.4 Preview 3 that adds support for tracing ARM devices with Segger J-Trace. Tracing is a powerful debugging technique that lets you track each and every instruction executed by the target CPU without ever stopping it, or instrumenting any code.
In this post I will show you how to use tracing to step back in time, reconstructing the code path leading to an otherwise untraceable crash and how to see the code coverage for your embedded projects in real time and without any instrumentation overhead.

Explaining project format changes in VisualGDB 5.3
The latest VisualGDB 5.3 release introduces a few improvements in the project format that avoid hardcoding of the paths and settings in the project files and make toolchain management on different machines easier. However some of those changes are not backward compatible with VisualGDB 5.2 and earlier, making it harder to update to v5.3 if some of the developers in your organization are still using v5.2. In this post I will show you the project file format differences between VisualGDB 5.3 and 5.2 and will provide examples on making v5.3 projects compatible with the older VisualGDB versions.
