SpyKer: Embedded System Trace Tool What does a system trace tool do?
Save time by instantly visualizing embedded-system bugs.
SpyKer traces kernel and application events to show you everything that is going on in an embedded system.
What does a system trace tool do?
A system trace tool captures operating-system tasks and application events on a running system and then displays a map of what it sees.
The progression of events and pauses in an embedded system should always be studied to ensure that the interaction, timing and priority of system tasks are as the developer intended. A system trace tool is especially adept at revealing performance irregularities and bugs that are acting on a system level rather than on a code-syntax level.
Improve your application testing
Program operations are often assessed indirectly by functional tests. The resulting metrics are then used to tune the application.
With SpyKer™, you gain a better understanding by observing low-level systems operations. You can improve your embedded application—and the functional tests that you run against it.
 "The mistake in the code wasn't apparent in my test scenario, but would have haunted me in a deployed system. SpyKer saw that the 5Hz thread was executing before the 100Hz thread. That alone is worth the price of the product." - Bruce Burnsed, Technical Manager, BAE SYSTEMS |
