UAD2next - Debug & Trace All-Rounder
The UAD2next (Universal Access Device 2next) is the all-round device for debugging and trace in PLS's Universal Access Device family. It complements the UDE® Universal Debug Engine with powerful, flexible and robust communication to all supported 32-bit and 64-bit microcontrollers and embedded processors.
Combined with the proven debug adapter series from the Universal Access Device family, the UAD2next enables access to the target device via a wide range of debug interfaces and offers state-of-the-art, future-proof debugging and programming capabilities, even for the latest multicore SoCs.
The UAD2next can be extended by optional Trace Modules that support the various trace interfaces of the supported devices. This makes it the perfect choice for efficient debugging, testing, and system-level analysis.
With additional CAN and serial interfaces providing an alternative communication channel to the target device, the UAD2next facilitates debug access, programming, and CAN communication analysis via functional interfaces.
The UAD2next is optimized for high-speed debug communication between the UDE® running on your PC and the target system.

Special Adapters and Extenstion Modules
The UAD2next Range Extender increases the distance between the Universal Access Device 2next (UAD2next) and the target system by up to two meters. This enables the UAD2next to be used in test environments where larger distances must be bridged between the debug access device and the device under test.
- Applicable for target access using a Universal Access Device 2next (UAD2next)
- Maximum distance that can be bridged between UAD2next and target system: 2 meters
- Target-independent; Can be combined with any standard Debug Adapter
- Can be combined with any galvanic isolated Debug Adapter
- Small footprint comparable to a standard Debug Adapter: 53 x 36 mm (L x W)
- Easy-to-use; Handling completely transparent to the user, no additional setup steps are needed
- Robust against electromagnetic interference through differential signal transmission between Range Extender and UAD2next
For trace based debugging, measurement and system-level analysis the UAD2next can be extended with target specific trace modules.
