Percepio Tracealyzer v4.6 visual trace diagnostics software

Percepio has announced version 4.6 of its visual trace diagnostics software, Tracealyzer, with improved support for Microsoft Azure and Azure RTOS ThreadX — two enhancements that should ease the development and debugging of Azure IoT systems.

As part of the improvements, Percepio has integrated its trace recorder in ThreadX, adding support for streaming recording where trace data is sent continuously to the host system and stored there. For ThreadX users, this means they can now capture longer software traces, spanning hours or even days, eg, for burn-in testing or profiling, or when looking for rare errors. Streaming support also enables live visualisation, ie, displaying the trace in real time while it is recorded.

Furthermore, the software has been enhanced to work with DevAlert, Percepio’s cloud service for monitoring deployed IoT devices, running on Azure. DevAlert users deploying on Azure can now see their device issues — including early warnings and full insight into the software behaviour of deployed devices — and download and analyse the attached software traces, directly in Tracealyzer.
