 So we're here at Embedded World 2018 and who are you? My name is Jens Brauners, I'm from PLS and PLS is a vendor of debug tools for different types of microcontrollers, especially from the ST1s. So this is a debug tool? Yes, it is. So what are we looking at here? We see here a power architecture based system used mainly in the automotive industry and we see here a set up of a trace for this controller, it's actually an SPC5 from ST1 and we shall hear our high-speed serial Aurora Trace system. So what does that do with the Aurora Trace? Yeah, the Aurora Trace is important for users to get as much information about runtime behavior as it's possible and we do a lot of things with trace-based analysis inside our university debug engine, which is our main product here. Does this explain what you do? That is the overall structure of our debug solution. It is a component-based system which is very flexible in terms of the usage and in terms of supported microcontroller architectures from ST, for example the ARM-based devices and the power architecture-based devices. So what is the user going to be doing here and what are you going to see on the screen? Yeah, you can... What is this? The screen shows our environment for the user. It's very easy to use and very modern here. You see different types of traffic representations of runtime information, real-time watches as well as trace-based information. Here you have a multi-core trace, we support multi-core systems. We are specialized in supporting multi-core systems in one user interface. So this part is the analysis of trace information that are captured by our UAD 3 Plus device using the Arroy interface. What is that? That is the device. You can capture up to 4GB on trace here in this device using this high bandwidth trace interface. Using that you can obtain all the information you need to evaluate the runtime behavior without any code instrumentation, without any influence on the runtime behavior of the system. That's very important for our customers. So you're debugging the chipset or the PCB or what part? The software running on the microcontroller we bring to the customers and the customers use our tools to debug, test and analyze the systems. So for example the car company is going to use it to make software for the microcontroller and they want to check it on your platform. Yes, and our tool helps to improve the software quality of their systems. And finally also to make sure that hard read times requirements are fulfilled and also safety requirements are fulfilled. What does PLS stand for? PLS stands for fast, robust and flexible access to a target and for an easy to use user interface to make sure that developers can make their products bring faster to the market. And where are you based? We are based in Germany and we are traced between Berlin and Tristan and we are working for more than 25 years for the users. And how is it to work with ST? Being a part of the ST's partner program helps us to bring our products just in time so that users can use our tools very quickly and very efficiently for all the ST-based devices.
