Lauterbach LA-7699/LA-7843/LA-7742X/LA-7708/LA-7843

The Lauterbach LA-7699/LA-7843/LA-7742X/LA-7708 series comprises advanced debug and trace tools for embedded systems development. Built on the TRACE32® platform and backed by over 45 years of embedded tools expertise, these instruments deliver real-time tracing, code coverage analysis, and synchronized multi-core debugging across heterogeneous processor architectures. Support spans over 15,000 chip variants and 150+ microarchitectures, including Arm Cortex-M/A/R, RISC-V RV32, and PowerPC cores.

– Technical Specifications

Supported Processors: Over 15,000 chip models across 150+ microarchitectures including Arm (Cortex-M, Cortex-A/R), RISC-V RV32, PowerPC, and complex SoCs from major semiconductor manufacturers.

Trace Memory: On-chip trace buffer up to 32 KB (expandable to 2 MB on emulation devices); off-chip solutions store up to 4 GB; TRACE32 off-chip trace memory reaches 8 GB.

Trace Streaming: Up to 140 MB/s for continuous recording and host-side data analysis.

Flash Programming: Supports on-chip flash, external NAND, eMMC, parallel and serial NOR devices at performance rates up to 450 KB/s.

Trace Ports: Parallel trace (up to 4-bit) and serial trace implementations; Nexus protocol support (low/mid bandwidth parallel Nexus, high bandwidth Aurora Nexus).

– Key Features

• Multi-core debugging with simultaneous trace of homogeneous and heterogeneous multicore/multiprocessor systems
• Start/stop core synchronization and time-correlated trace display
• OS-aware debugging for RTOS, hypervisors, and virtual machines (SMP and AMP configurations)
• Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) for hardware-independent application development and testing
• Peripheral register inspection and modification at logical level
• Non-intrusive kernel and task list access

– Typical Applications

Multi-core SoC development, real-time kernel debugging, hypervisor-based systems, flash-resident firmware development, and long-duration system behavior analysis via high-capacity off-chip trace storage.

– Compatibility & Integration

Unified debugging interface across all supported architectures; concurrent core debugging with unified scripting support; compatible with standard Nexus trace implementations and serial/parallel trace interfaces.
