New target architecture
TimeWeaver is now available for V850/RH850, supporting all Renesas RH850 boards equipped with a Nexus or AURORA trace interface (e.g. RH850/C1H or RH850/F1KM-S1).
Improvements
- Improved detection of valid trace snippet end points.
- Support for OWNERSHIP information in Lauterbach traces.
- By default the analysis now tries to automatically determine the trace file format.
- Excessively high timestamps that might occur due to tracing errors can now be filtered out using the new GUI option “Threshold for timestamps” under “Setup” → “Timing analysis” → “TimeWeaver”. The default value is 6000 cycles per instruction.
Improved trace segment stats
- The trace segment statistics now show the full summary time spent in a segment where the segment threshold is applied.
- The trace segment statistics now keep track of the minimum and maximum time spent per trace segment.
- The threshold for trace segment statistics is now applied per context.
- The trace segment statistics view now shows data in time units instead of cycles if applicable.
TraceVisualizer
- Improved analysis performance for large traces and task sets.
- Improved handling of Lauterbach BRANCHFLOW traces.
Extended XML reports
TimeWeaver now exports extended trace coverage information to XML report files. This information becomes available in a context-insensitive fashion by enabling “Output call graph”, and in a context-sensitive fashion by enabling “Show per context info” under “Setup" → “Reporting". The trace coverage can then be found in the XML report under a3 → timeweaver_analysis_task → timeweaver_analysis_results → trace_coverage.
Other changes
TLS-encrypted connections to the License Manager, improved AIS2 annotations, extended Qualification Support Kits, and more. See the complete release notes for a³ 23.10.
