(PR excerpt) — American Arium today announced delivery of a Linux source-level kernel debug solution using its SourcePoint debugging software along with an Arium SC-1000 JTAG emulator for ARM and Intel XScale processors.

Targeted at embedded Linux developers, Arium's solution addresses the large scope of source-level kernel debug by presenting it through an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand interface. Arium's debug solution leverages the real-time execution trace of ARM and XScale by allowing the user to cross-reference trace information back to original source code.

This solution provides developers with the ability to perform hardware-assisted debugging for bringing up new hardware, while also providing source-level debugging capabilities for the Linux kernel and associated device drivers. Arium's SourcePoint debugging interface provides developers with the ability to download code to their target system, program Altera PLD devices, and execute board initialization from one convenient interface.
