Navigator™Pro Probe for MIPS 32® Cores

MIPS Technologies' Navigator Pro probes support all MIPS 32™ cores with PDtrace ™ if the core is designed to stream processor trace data off-chip. Navigator Pro probes support both on-chip and off-chip trace features, capturing up to 2GB of trace. The Navigator Pro probe connects to the target system using a 38-pin Mictor connector.

Extensive debugger support including Eclipse-based MIPS® Navigator ICS on Windows® and Linux

Software development tools used with the Navigator Pro probes include the GNU-based MIPS toolchain and the new MIPS Navigator Integrated Component Suite (ICS). All probe features are available from the Navigator ICS interface, which has an Eclipse-standard interface and C/C++ Development Tool (CDT) components with special plug-ins for processor debugging using the probe.

The system runs on a PC with Windows® XP or Windows®7 or Linux and requires a USB 2.0 or 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection.
