NXP’s S32N7 super-integration processor delivers safe modular computing with hardware-enforced function isolation, enabling OEMs to securely run multiple vehicle core functions like motion strategy, body, gateway or data management. It consolidates up to eight legacy domains onto a single platform and includes a range of compatible System-on-Chips (SoC), allowing OEMs to efficiently scale the performance and features of their vehicles. Its comprehensive edge capabilities enable data collection, real-time processing, and orchestration to drive faster, data-driven decisions.

Lauterbach’s TRACE32® supports the entire Product Life Cycle (PLC) from Pre-Silicon to Prototyping & Testing to In-Field analysis including cloud-based debugging and profiling. It provides the broadest support for emulators, simulators and virtual targets in the industry as well as hardware-accelerated debugging and real-time tracing of all the heterogeneous Arm® and RISC-V cores implemented in NXP’s S32N7 SoC via parallel off-chip trace and trace via PICe Gen.4×4.

TRACE32® solutions consist of the universal PowerView debugging and tracing software as well as debug and trace accelerator modules. While Lauterbach’s intelligent PowerDebug modules provide highest download speeds and smallest response times for efficient debugging and test automation, PowerTrace real-time trace modules provide full insights of what the CPUs and other cores are doing without impacting its real-time performance in any way. Trace analysis including code coverage measurements can support bringing automotive designs to market faster, safer, and more reliably than ever.

TRACE32® enables simultaneous debugging and tracing of the Arm® and RISC-V cores in the S32N7; a unique capability to cover the whole system. It does not matter whether the system is SMP (Symetric Multiprocessing), AMP (Asymetric Multiprocessing), or iAMP (Integrated Asymmetrical Multiprocessing). Lauterbach’s innovative iAMP debug and trace technology enables to debug multicore systems with identical CPU instruction sets in just one TRACE32® PowerView GUI.

“NXP’s S32N7 super-integration processor series for AI-powered vehicle architectures provides excellent computing performance as well as interfacing and functional safety features”, says Dr. Markus Herdin, Head of Marketing at Lauterbach GmbH. “With the latest support of TRACE32®, we enable S32N7 customers to develop their applications with our market leading debug and trace solutions right from the start."

“The S32N7 is NXP’s most powerful high-performance computer, designed to enable the next generation of AI-powered vehicles. It consolidates diverse vehicle functions into a safe and secure scalable architecture,” said Norbert Huemmer, VP R&D at NXP Semiconductors. “The close collaboration with Lauterbach to provide TRACE32® support, allows us to empower developers with advanced multicore debugging and tracing capabilities that accelerate development, improve system reliability, and help bring innovative automotive solutions to market faster.”

Lauterbach’s TRACE32® development tools enables developers of automotive SDV architectures to evolve their applications based on NXP’s S32N7 even faster and easier.
