Hi Dave, Kristof, hi all,
nice to see more and more interest in bringing affordable debuggers with
tracing.
I would like also to inform the community that trande is also building
an affordable trace-capable debugger. The traces can either come from
ITM or ETM IPs. In order to enable openocd to support ETM traces for
cortex devices a proposal was posted in
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg13641.html
this work is still in progress, and your contribution is welcome.
Kind Regards

Hi Folks,
Kristof said you folks had discovered the ORBTrace, feel free to ask
questions here or join the Discord if you want to avoid cluttering
this channel.
I don't want to advertise, so just make you aware of what we've got.
The intention is to have a well priced, open source, TRACE capable
probe, not to make mine or Vegards fortune...feel free to take the
gateware and implement it on other FPGAs if that floats your boat! The
current gateware supports V1 & V2 CMSIS-DAP, 1, 2 & 4 pin TRACE, 3v3
and 5v VTPwr and 1v8/3v3 VTref. That's all done in gateware but there
is a *lot* of headroom in the design...there's a whole RISC-V and 8MB
of RAM in there that's not used at all yet, not to mention a 70-odd
pin expansion connector on the underside.
As far as we're aware all the expected functionality is working in
current gateware builds. Next couple of weeks we need to build out a
webshop and website, and get documentation in place, then they'll be
available. We have 150...getting more might take a while :-(
Regards
DAVE

Hi Antonio,
Hi Mike,
I'd like to add the price too. Dave just told me on the Discord
channel:
Pricing is 100 EUR for the board and 30 EUR for the case,
so 130 EUR + P&P + Taxes....but it's a PROJECT to join.
If you want a PRODUCT that should deffo work put a 0 on
the end of the price and buy a JTrace.
This was my previous mail:
------------------------------------------------------------
My friend Dave Marples (mubes on Github/Discord) has been working on
a debug/trace probe together with Vegherd Erikson (zyp). It will be
available very very soon indeed, called ORBTrace. It's a dinky
little thing (see .png figure added to this mail) that offers both
TRACE and CMSIS-DAP debug. It's tested with OpenOCD, PyOCD and
BlackMagic probe. It will read SWD to file at around 1.5MBytes/sec
using OpenOCD on a STM32F427. An initial quantity of 150 units has
been made and there's a waiting list at Issue 1 at
https://github.com/orbcode/orbtrace It should be viewed as a
project not a product, and it's fully open source. Early adopters
are sought to help expand it's capabilities.
There's a Discord to join at https://discord.gg/P7FYThy to learn
more.
Dave is [email protected] if you want direct contact.
I told Dave about the discussion here, and he's going to join the
mailing list now ^_^

Kind regards,
Kristof Mulier
