                        Trace32 in-circuit emulators, debuggers, and
simulators for the
                        PowerPC family now include ready-to-run support
for the eCos
                        operating system. The eCos source code is
distributed under the GNU
                        general public license. Existing Trace32
customers receive eCos
                        compatibility for free. At present, eCos
compatibility is available only
                        for those Trace32 tools that support the PowerPC
processor, but
                        additional processor ports are planned. By means
of these tools, the
                        OS's scheduler and threads can be viewed in
special windows. A stack
                        analysis capability measures the stack usage of
each thread. Based on
                        the sampled records in Trace32 analyzers, thread
switches can be
                        graphically examined and displayed. A
performance analysis tool
                        evaluates thread and function run times.
Statistic tables give
                        information about system usage. The Trace32
debugger supports the
                        eCos RTOS without requiring changes to the
application or kernel.
