ADTC / EDA Workshop 2026: C-Trace — An Open-Source RISC-V® Trace Encoder and its Ecosystem

Albert Schulz presented “C-Trace — An Open-Source RISC-V® Trace Encoder and its Ecosystem” at this year’s ADTC / EDA Workshop 2026. In the presentation, he introduced C-Trace, Accemic’s open-source, standards-compliant RISC-V® trace encoder developed within the European TRISTAN project. C-Trace addressed a key gap in the RISC-V® ecosystem: a production-grade, standards-based trace encoder enabling non-intrusive […]

Understanding Embedded Trace

Embedded Trace is an integral part of nearly all modern processors. This post summarizes the essential facts about this powerful but still far too seldom used functional unit that application engineers, test engineers and project managers should know in order to test, optimize and debug a system efficiently. Something about Embedded Processor Observation Monitoring embedded […]

Embedded Trace – The Hidden Gem Inside Your Processor

You’ve probably heard of CoreSight™ Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM), Intel® PT, or MIPI® Nexus—they’re built-in hardware features that quietly record what your processor is up to. Unlike software logs or added profiling code, embedded trace – or sometimes called hardware trace or processor trace – is generated in silicon. You don’t slow down your app, […]

ERTS 2024: Multi-core WCET Analysis Using Non-Intrusive Continuous Observation

We are proud to have Daniel Kästner (CTO of AbsInt) present our joint paper “Multi-core WCET Analysis Using Non-Intrusive Continuous Observation” at this year’s ERTS Congress in Toulouse. In this paper we explain how the product bundle CEDARtools & TimeWeaver helps our customers to fulfill the objectives “MCP_Resource_Usage_3“, “MCP_Resource_usage_4“, “MCP_Software_1“, and “MCP_Software_2” objectives of EASA […]

Presentation at Software Quality Days 2022

Finally meeting people again sounds pretty exciting to us. The Software Quality Days 2022 in the Austria Center Vienna with the main topic “What´s The Next Big Thing in Software Engineering and Quality?” will take place 17.-19. May 2022. We are happy to meet existing and future clients at our stand together with our partner […]

Everything you always wanted to know about Embedded Trace

After having many of our colleagues explain again and again what “embedded trace” actually is and how essential this great feature is for the development, testing and debugging of embedded systems, we have summarised an overview for you in an article that was published on Feb 15 2022 in IEEE. We thank our co-authors from […]
