  • [SOLVED] Data trace with J-Trace PRO using Ozone

    In the J-Line/J-Trace user guide, it is mentioned in Section 16.2.2 that data tracing is possible.
    Is this feature supported in the J-Trace PRO for Cortex-M or in Ozone?

    Thanks!
  • Hello Wey,

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    As described in the J-Link User Manual the J-Trace PRO for Cortex-M does technically support that feature, but has not yet been implemented into our software, because currently there is no Cortex-M on the market that we know of that supports data tracing.
    May i ask what target device you are trying to debug?


    Best regards,

  • Hi Nino,

    Sorry, I was not aware that ETM does not support data tracing without the additional HTM.
    The target device I am debugging is the STM32F437II which I discovered does not have it.

    Thank you very much for your time. :)


    PS. In the WebServer, I get some counts in 'Corrected trace packets', would I be notified of any trace data loss or corruption (such as trace packets that could not be corrected)?
    The poor signal integrity is caused by poor PCB trace layout as the layout was originally not planned with trace in mind (so the traces are a bit long).

    Correct, with that device data trace will not function.

    If any packets get lost trace would simply stop and not update anymore, under certain circumstances an error message will appear in the debug console as well.

    This should be no problem with our J-Trace PRO as you can adjust the sampling time of each trace pin individually.
    A how to and more troubleshooting steps are described here: segger.com/products/debug-prob…hnology/setting-up-trace/
