Making the impossible possible

• Can't examine high-cycle flash
  by embitz

  Thanks for the report. Could you help me by sharing a small demo project that I can use to solve this? Cheers

• Support for Zbit
  by sp9skp

  Yes, with SWD. That would be wonderful. CX right now are supported by IAR and Keil with j-link. Edit: More precisely - Zbit offers plugins for IAR and Keil.

• STM32U0 support

  Thanks, I will look into this next week

• Union is displayed wrong in the watch window [solved]
  by Buzzwang

  Hi, sry for the late response. I can confirm that it is working with the updated arm-gdb.exe. Note: In the meantime I got a new PC with Win11, and I wasn't able to download the file, because of virus […]

Project wizards

EmBitz has a project wizard which is build by using only squirrel scripting language. It's easy to build custom project templates with special custom made dialog screens. The package already contains some templates of popular ARM cortex-m devices.

Live variables

Once used to this feature, you can't live without! On running target, hover the mouse on a global variable which is always known to the current context by default. This will bring up the live vartip toolbox and gives a 250ms interval update of the value without stopping the target.

SVD register viewer

Retrieve a SVD file with the SVD repository plugin and make all the system registers of the device accessible for monitoring or modifying. Hover on the register and it shows meaningful descriptions.

EB monitor

Have interaction with your target with the EBmonitor plugin. Using circular buffers with EB's live target inspection, the target is not halted during transfers like semihosting. EBmonitor is bidirectional!

OS aware

The RT-OS aware debugger plugin is capable of showing tasks, stack states and other objects. Supports FreeRTOS and others on user request.

Pluggable

EmBitz comes already with a lot of useful plugins for the embedded developer and the number of available plugins will increase rapidly. Plugins like: Hex editor, ToDo list manager, foreign project loaders etc etc, it's all there.
