Using IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm with an IAR I-jet probe?
Did you know this provides an excellent data channel for Tracealyzer trace streaming?

We have just updated Percepio Application Note PA-023 with a simpler setup for trace streaming over ITM/SWO, enabled by improvements in IAR’s ITM logging support. This makes it easier than ever to combine IAR’s powerful debugging with Tracealyzer’s RTOS-level insight.

Read the updated guide here.

IAR already includes strong debugging and trace features, but doesn’t offer RTOS aware trace: seeing how the threads and kernel services interact in real time. That’s where Tracealyzer shines.

With Tracealyzer you get:

  • A full timeline of all RTOS threads, ISRs, and system events.

  • Instant visibility when a task is delayed, preempted, or blocked.

  • Powerful views for CPU load, task execution times, and resource usage.

  • The ability to quickly understand complex runtime interactions that are hard to spot with traditional debugging.
