Andes Technology Collaborates with Lauterbach to Deliver RISC-V Trace Solution

HSINCHU, TAIWAN — Nov 26, 2024 — Lauterbach, the leading provider of development tools for embedded systems, and Andes Technology Corporation (TWSE: 6533; SIN: US03420C2089; ISIN: US03420C1099), a leading supplier of RISC-V processor IP, today proudly announce their collaboration that enhances the debugging and tracing experience for engineers using Andes’ advanced NCETRACE200 trace IP with Lauterbach’s industry leading development tools TRACE32®.

With the growing demand for RISC-V architectures in various applications, the combination of Lauterbach’s TRACE32® tools and Andes’ NCETRACE200 trace solution empowers developers to have deep, non-intrusive trace visibility into their System-on-Chip (SoC) to assist debug & trace, accelerate time-to-market and achieve higher levels of reliability, performance and efficiency in their embedded products.

AndesCore™ NCETRACE200 subsystem is a non-intrusive tracing solution designed for the Andes RISC-V processor portfolio that spans from small, low-power MCUs to high-performance OoO application processors. Key features include:

• RISC-V N-Trace compatible trace encoder, timestamp generator and decoder
• Multi-core tracing, up to 8 RISC-V harts
• Configurable size Trace Buffer
• Mixed-ISA environment supported, including compatibility with the CoreSight™ technology by Arm®.
