 The Green Hills Probe is an advanced hardware debug
device that connects to the onboard debug ports present
on most modern microprocessors, such as IEEE 1149.1
JTAG and BDM. With support for more than one thousand
devices from over thirty manufacturers, a flexible electrical
interface, and out-of-the-box support for the largest multicore
systems, the Green Hills Probe provides fast, reliable
debugging, programming, and system visibility to projects
present and future.
Key features of the Green Hills Probe include:
- 100+ MHz sustained JTAG TCK rates
- 10+ MB/second sustained download speeds
- Gigabit Ethernet
- USB 2.0 High Speed
- Flash programming support for virtually every NOR flash part
- Python interpreter built-in for automation
- Web 2.0 user interface for standalone installations
- High-reliability flash filesystem for storing automation scripts and user files
- RoHS, PSE, and CEC compliance
| What should a good debugging tool do? |
Debugging tools should just work. Any target. Any electrical
interface. Any CPU. Any number of cores. The Green
Hills Probe is designed to debug anything out there, and
anything that the future might bring.
Debugging tools help you get the job done faster. The
Green Hills Probe is designed for amazing speed and efficiency.
Incredible download rates in excess of 10 MB/second,
high-speed I/O, and smart, automatic detection of any
configuration, including the most complex multi-core systems,
get you debugging and finding your bugs faster.
Debugging tools should be so easy to use that you don’t
even notice them. With its incredible speed, seamless
integration with the award-winning MULTI Integrated
Development Environment, and design by developers who
actually use it everyday, the Green Hills Probe is an indispensible
tool for every embedded developer.

 |
Debugging tools should reward long-term investment. When you’re ready to
start your next project, the Green Hills Probe is easily reprogrammed to debug different CPUs so
that you are already investing in your future projects when you use the Green Hills Probe today.

| Debug anything |
The Green Hills Probe supports more than one thousand
devices from over thirty manufacturers with a flexible electrical
interface and out-of-the-box support for the largest
multicore systems providing fast, reliable debugging, programming
and system visibility to projects present and
future.
With its reflashable firmware, the Green Hills Probe is easily
and constantly upgraded for new CPUs and new debugging
requirements arriving on the market. Reuse the
Green Hills Probe for your next project and save on startup
and setup costs.
Green Hills Probe’s easily replaceable Target Transition Modules and flexible electrical interface connect to any target conceivable. Supporting a wide voltage and clock range, the Green Hills Probe can fully exploit debug interfaces of all speeds and capabilities.

| Finish every project faster |
The performance and feature set of the Green Hills Probe
are designed to enhance developer productivity and minimize
schedule risk during all phases of a project. Smart,
automatic configuration for a quick start, full on-chip register
visibility for fast bring-up, and ultra-high-speed memory
access for fast downloads, memory viewing, and programming
all help you get going faster on any project. The
Green Hills Probe’s advanced target control architecture
and wide target support eliminate downtime waiting for
download of large code images and tediously accessing
device registers.
When it comes time to ship your product, the Green Hills
Probe’s comprehensive programming API, universal flash
programming support, on-board Python scripting, and
easy-to-use Web 2.0 interface can be used to program,
test, and validate your product as it leaves the assembly
line. Using one hardware debug device from bring-up to
production minimizes training and transition costs
throughout the product life cycle, and the Green Hills
Probe’s extensive field upgradeability and high-performance,
proven design ensures that hardware units purchased
now will provide the same productivity benefits for
future projects.

| Built for MULTI |
Tightly integrated with the best embedded development
environment in the world, the Green Hills Probe is an integral
part of the MULTI IDE that has helped developers ship
great products on-time for over 15 years.
The MULTI development environment supports more target
processors, operating systems, and third-party tools than
any other IDE—making it ideal for enterprise- wide
deployment. By using a common set of development tools
across projects, software engineers can more easily share
code or move between projects without compromising productivity.
With MULTI, you can develop code in C, C++, and FORTRAN (and Ada 95 with Green Hills Software’s AdaMULTI
IDE). MULTI supports all major 32- and 64-bit processor
architectures—as well as the leading embedded and general
purpose operating systems and development hosts.
The MULTI IDE’s tight integration with a broad array of
third-party tools provides you with maximum flexibility and
choice. You can optimize your own development environment—
invoking your favorite tools, editor, or configuration
management system all from within the MULTI environment.
MULTI can even be used with your existing Eclipse
environment. |
