• Use on Any Processor or FPGA

The Active Debugger is a powerful firmware debugging tool that works seamlessly with the Active-Pro software application. At its core is the Active Debug Port, a unique technology that allows firmware to output real-time debug information, including variables, state changes, and custom messages, directly to the Active-Pro software. Unlike traditional debuggers that rely on breakpoints or halting execution, the Active Debugger operates non-intrusively, enabling continuous, high-speed visibility into your embedded system while it runs. Engineers can correlate debug output with exact source code lines and time-synchronized waveforms, providing unmatched insight into firmware behavior. This makes the Active Debugger ideal for complex debugging scenarios across microprocessors, FPGAs, and other embedded platforms.
