Chameleon Debugger

Signum Systems: Chameleon Debugger

Chameleon Debugger, our flagship software package: designed for a variety of hardware emulation interfaces to target boards (JTAG, BDM, ICE, STAG) on one end, and a communication channel to the host PC on the other. The program provides a consistent user interface to an embedded project at all stages of the development cycle from CPU evaluation to production testing. Chameleon supports many different CPUs and DSPs in plain or Multi-Core (SoC) targets in a single debugging environment. Regardless of the number of CPUs being debugged the software offers the latest debugging features, such as fly-over variable watch, drag and drop variables, Virtual I/O, . . .

. . . complex variable implode/explode, script language for automatic testing, symbol browsing, trace window, and more. Step-into, Step-out and Step-over modes are supported for both C and assembly levels. The Flash programming plug-in allows you to program the nonvolatile memory on your target board with ease. Our unique graphical interface for complex events is quick, intuitive and incredibly easy to use.

Over the years, Chameleon Debugger has received countless praises form its users. Consistently, the most poignant accolades come from those customers who earlier used equivalent products of other brands.
