Wind River Probe is a portable JTAG probe that supports the leading architectures with broad processor coverage. Wind River Probe integrates Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging and the Wind River On-Chip Debugging API to provide a flexible debugging platform. Using Wind River Probe, developers can see into a processor core. Wind River Probe can be used during multiple phases of the development cycle, including hardware bring-up, kernel/BSP development, and application development.
