Das Tool Tracealyzer von Percepio unterstützt BMW ab sofort dabei, die Softwareleistung in der IP-Basis-Integrationsplattform für Karosserie- und Komfortfunktionen in der nächsten Fahrzeuggeneration zu überwachen und zu optimieren.

Debugging Embedded Firmware Issues

Nov 27, 2025

Firmware on embedded devices can freeze, overload, or behave unpredictably, leaving developers frustrated because traditional debugging tools often miss these issues. Intermittent problems, like a device requiring a power cycle, leave no diagnostic data in RAM, making it hard to understand what went wrong. Timing-related bugs are especially tricky, as standard logs or breakpoints cannot capture missing events.

Percepio releases Detect 2025.2 with new TaskMonitor feature to identify firmware freezes

Nov 26, 2025

Percepio announced the release of Detect 2025.2 with new TaskMonitor, a feature designed to automatically identify firmware freezes, overloads, and timing anomalies – issues that often evade traditional debugging tools. Detect 2025.2 builds on Percepio’s self-hosted observability framework, which offers unlimited on-device monitoring and a “security-camera-style” trace capture system that records only when irregular events occur.

Percepio Detect 2025.2 Makes Firmware Freezes Visible

Nov 24, 2025

New Percepio Detect 2025.2 release delivers faster debugging, smaller core dumps, expanded IAR Embedded Workbench® and Arm support, and TaskMonitor for automatic anomaly detection. Percepio Detect builds on Percepio’s self-hosted observability platform, offering unlimited on-device monitoring with “security-camera-style” trace capture that records only when unusual events occur.
