First Linux Trace Toolkit for PowerPC
Nov. 06, 2000

Sunnyvale, CA -- (press release excerpt) -- MontaVista Software today announced availability of the Linux Trace Toolkit for PowerPC developers. The Linux Trace Toolkit is a suite of tools designed to extract and interpret execution details of multiple programs from the Linux operating system. Specifically, it enables users to extract processor utilization and allocation information over specified periods of execution.

"Embedded-system designers need superior development and debugging tools for both applications and system software," commented Jim Ready, CEO of MontaVista software and embedded Linux pioneer. "The Linux Trace Toolkit helps engineers visualize and measure the detailed timing of their application in the embedded Linux environment," added Ready.

MontaVista's Linux Trace Toolkit builds on Karim Yaghmour's open source IA-32/x86 Linux Trace Toolkit, and offers the first kernel tracing tool for PowerPC processors. The PowerPC version of the toolkit enables users to capture and graphically display processor utilization and allocation information. Processor utilization and allocation information over specified periods is available for logging and analysis, including comprehensive listings of probed events. The graphical, integrated Linux Trace Toolkit environment, based on the GTK+ library, can also plot these results and perform specific searches through key data sequences.

Both the x86 and the PowerPC versions of the toolkit function with MontaVista Hard Hat Linux, based on the version 2.2.14 Linux kernel. MontaVista's Linux Trace Toolkit source code is available for immediate download, here. Support for Linux kernel 2.4.0 and other Hard Hat Linux target CPUs will be forthcoming.
