TRACE32 already supports ARMv8 architecture

One of the key focuses in developing this version of the ARM instruction set was to bring the energy-efficient heritage of ARM processor technology to 64-bit computing and to make a larger virtual address space available. The ARMv8 architecture introduces a new concept regarding exceptions and the handling of those.

The ARMv8 Embedded Trace Macrocell provides non-intrusive program-flow trace and data trace capabilities for any of the ARMv8 architecture-based processors for full visibility into the processor's instruction flow and enables profiling analysis.

The TRACE32 tools further support the CoreSight technology for the ARMv8 architecture. It extends the debug and trace capability to cover the entire system-on-chip including multiple ARM processors and DSPs. Switching between 64-bit and 32-bit execution mode is smoothly handled by TRACE32 to provide reliable debug support for complex applications.

TRACE32 offers full OS-aware support for all popular operating systems running on asymmetric multiprocessing or symmetric multiprocessing systems.
