ARM Inc. RealView ICE (RVI) Debug Adapter

RealView ICE (RVI) and RealView Trace 2 (RVT2) are ARM's legacy target connection units. Although not as powerful as the DSTREAM combined debug and trace unit, RVI and RVT2 still provide suitable target connection functionality for RVD users. RVI™ run-control debug unit RVI enables the connection of ARM and third party debuggers to ARM processor-based devices via JTAG or Serial-Wire Debug. RVI uses FPGA acceleration to deliver high download speeds and fast stepping through code on single and multi-processor devices. With features such as Virtual Ethernet for mounting of remote files systems without additional drivers or I/O ports, accelerated hardware bring-up for many development platforms, and open debug interface for use with third-party tools, RVI is a comprehensive solution for development and debug of complex SoCs. RVT2™ trace capture unit RVT2 is a trace capture hardware unit that works as an extension to RVI. RVT2 connects to the trace port of a hardware target to extract trace data off-chip, either storing it onto its 24MB buffer or streaming it to a host computer. Trace is an essential tool for the resolution of complex software/hardware and timing-related issues, as it enables post-analysis of a software execution without the need for any software or hardware instrumentation. In addition, the innovative data streaming capability in RVT2, together with the ARM Profiler also enables non-intrusive, long term software profiling. RVI and RVT2 ship with powerful software utilities to assist with SoC bring-up and hardware validation. They also provide interfaces for third party and custom tools.
