B l u e P r i n t News and Innovations
iSYSTEM announced the
introduction of the industry's
first truly wireless debugger
at the ARM TechCon end of
October 2013 in Santa Clara.
The iONE-BT allows the wire-
less communication between
a target application and a PC
running iSYSTEM's winIDEA/
testIDEA debugging and test
software, via Bluetooth.
iONE-BT is the wireless De-
bug & Trace adaptor. On one
end, it establishes a debug
and trace communication
with the target processor, on
the other end it links to
winIDEA/testIDEA, running
on the host PC, via a wireless
communication.
The iONE-BT module can be
supplied directly by the tar-
get system (3.3V) or by a
SuperCap or battery power
module.
The SuperCap or battery mo-
dule receive its input power
from the target system. While
power from the target is
available, it directly supplies
the iONE-BT module and
charges the integrated back-
up energy storage element.
While the target is un-
powered, the iONE-BT is
supplied by the back-up
energy storage.
On the PC-side a USB-
Bluetooth dongle establishes
the bridge between Blue-
tooth and winIDEA/testIDEA.
Besides allowing wireless
access from the PC running
winIDEA/testIDEA across a
lab to a target connected to
the iONE-BT, this new wire-
less debugging capability
opens doors for embedding
debuggers in harsh environ-
ments.
An example: A company em-
beds some controller inside
a device which in turn is de-
ployed in a field or a mine.
Once placed and sealed in
the container, it is extremely
difficult and expensive to
open the container and re-
trieve the controller for the
purpose of debugging the
application or re-flashing the
device. Wireless access (up
to 10 meters) allows this to
be accomplished in the field
with minimal cost and time.
The Bluetooth communica-
tion is compliant to Bluetooth
standard 3.0. The transmit
power is Class 2 (typ. 0dBm)
with a range of approximately
10m. The bandwidth is ap-
proximately 2.1 Mbit/second.
Operating voltage is 3.3V.
The iONE-BT will be first
available as a debugger for
the ARM Cortex-M family of
microcontrollers. Other cores
will be supported in the fu-
ture. The debugging and
trace analysis interface,
winIDEA/testIDEA, are identi-
cal for the iONE-BT as for all
of the other iSYSTEM hard-
ware debug modules, such
as the iC5000. The iONE-BT
will be available for the ARM
Cortex-M at Embedded World
in Nuremberg, end of Febru-
ary 2014.

What's in it for you? What
will it do for you?
More detailed information
about iSYSTEM tools and
their application
winIDEA Online Help to
give you an in-depth view of
iSYSTEM's tool functionality.
The online help is also part
of a winIDEA installation.
Please use Build 128 (full
installation necessary)
Which industries do al-
ready use iSYSTEM tools?
This sections gives you an
overview about markets,
their requirements and
applications.
3rd party tool solutions
that integrate iSYSTEM
tools and vise versa. In
addition to that the new
winIDEA Online Help lists
more details about those
integrations. Read also the

Why embedded compa-
nies love to work with iSYS-
TEM and iSYSTEM tools?
This page lists benefits of
iSYSTEM and iSYSTEM
tools to help you and your
boss to make the right deci-
sion.
iSYSTEM's past and cur-
rent research projects
about testing and multicore
e m b e d d e d s y s t e m s .
eMOTE is finished, MoTTeM
is ongoing and we just
started a 3rd one covering
multi-core and fault injec-
tion aspects of embedded
systems.
daqIDEA is a tool for the
graphical presentation of
large data sets. It displays
values for different varia-
bles as a 2D chart and as a
table of numeric values.
The data acquired can be
exported to a file and the
variable configuration can
be saved into a configura-
tion file. Charts can be
closely inspected by zoom-
ing and stretching and if
left alone, the maximum
amount of latest data will
be displayed.
The iSYSTEM Blue Box can
perform a high-frequency
data acquisition using real-
time access of the connec-
ted CPU. Up to 256 DAQ
items can be configured on
a blue box. Each DAQ item
can monitor a location of 1-
8 bytes.
Processing time of one DAQ
item (reading it from me-
mory) varies on the CPU
architecture and debug
port speed, but ranges
from 50us-500us.
DAQ sampling periods can
be configured (per individu-
al DAQ item) for maximum,
1ms, 10ms, 100ms and 1s.
Access to the iSYSTEM DAQ
functionality is provided via
isystem.connect. In addi-
tion to that a user may con-
figure a DAQ configuration
using the GUI daqIDEA. It is
a script in Python and can
be modified/extended by
users. Other benefits:
High speed, polling on
Blue Box
Uses debugging interface,
trace is not necessary
Can export data to excel,
csv, text
Included in winIDEA for
free as a Python script

„The world of microcontroller has changed a lot since the very beginning in terms of complexity, number of cores, speed, power consumption, and variety.“
„Since 1986 iSYSTEM provides Embedded Development Software Tools and Blue Box hardware technology to different markets“
This is the most growing
market since a while now.
Lots of embedded applica-
tions are already based on
this microcontroller archi-
tecture, more will follow.
Cyber-Physical Systems, a
new buzzword for embed-
ded systems, but an indica-
tion that shows already
today that lots of small and
mid-size embedded sys-
tems will be present on the
market in the future. Most
of them will be based on
Cortex.

3rd party debuggers in
winIDEA is part of the iSYS-
TEM GOES SOFTWARE
strategy. As a result, we
expect iSYSTEM’s develop-
ment and test environment
winIDEA/testIDEA, which is
particularly popular in the
automotive industry at this
time, to become even more
popular around the world.
SEGGER J-LINK and
ST-LINK from STMicroelec-
tronics:
This is accomplished by
a free version of winIDEA
called winIDEA Open for
Cortex-M with integrated J-
Link and ST-Link support.
winIDEA Open has no code
size limitation, supports
only the GNU tool chain,
and is provided with no
support. Therefore it is
recommended to use
winIDEA Open for evaluati-
on and non-critical projects
only. Extensive technical
support as well as the use
of additional compilers is
available through an up-
grade to a regular winIDEA
version.

standard software distribu-
tion supports Renesas E1
Debugger for the RH850
family of MCUs. This inclu-
des standard debug functi-
onality, flash programming,
communication over JTAG
or LPD and compiler sup-
port for Greenhills and IAR.
If trace (recording of pro-
gram execution etc.) is
required, we recommend
an upgrade to the iC5000
blue box supporting On-
chip trace buffer as well as
SofTrace, Profiling and
Code Coverage analysis.
