UAD3+ - High-End Trace and Multi-Target Debugging
The UAD3+ (Universal Access Device 3+) is the high-end trace and multi-target device 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 3+ 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 UAD3+ can be expanded with optional high-speed Trace Pods, which support the various trace interfaces of supported devices. With 4 or 8 Gbyte of trace memory, the UAD3+ is the perfect choice for high-end, trace-based debugging, testing, and system-level analysis.
Up to eight target devices can be connected in parallel by the UAD3+, thus enabling it to be utilized for multi-target debugging or parallel Flash programming.
The UAD3+ is optimized for high-speed debug communication between the UDE® running on your PC and the target system.
