Percepio® Tracealyzer® Enhancements for Linux Users

The latest release of Tracealyzer, version 4.9, brings a significant focus on improving the user experience for Linux users. One of the key enhancements is the simplified installation process, which has been made more user-friendly with the introduction of a standalone installation package. This package includes all the necessary components to run Tracealyzer smoothly on a Linux host computer, making it easier for new users to get started with the tool. As a result, users on most Linux distributions can now set up and start using Tracealyzer within a matter of minutes.

According to Johan Kraft, the founder and CTO of Percepio, the company behind Tracealyzer, providing robust support for Linux has always been a top priority. With a growing community of Linux developers who have provided valuable feedback and testimonials over the years, Percepio is committed to enhancing the user experience for Linux users. The latest release of Tracealyzer is a testament to this commitment, with a primary focus on addressing the needs and preferences of the Linux developer community.

The improvements in user experience and performance on Linux are evident in Tracealyzer 4.9. The release addresses several Linux-specific bugs and GUI issues, resulting in a smoother and more efficient application. Users can expect faster startup times and quicker loading of traces, enhancing overall usability and productivity when working with Tracealyzer on a Linux platform.

In addition to the enhancements for Linux users, Tracealyzer 4.9 also introduces updates to the TraceRecorder support for Eclipse ThreadX and SAFERTOS®. These updates aim to streamline recorder integration and ensure compatibility with the latest features of these real-time operating systems. The support for SAFERTOS is provided through collaboration with WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems, further expanding the capabilities of Tracealyzer for users working with SAFERTOS-based applications.

Furthermore, Tracealyzer 4.9 enhances its support for LynxOS-178®, a standards-based RTOS designed for safety-critical real-time applications by Lynx Software Technologies. The new features include the ability to record process data in the TraceRecorder library and group threads by process in the trace view, offering improved visibility and organization for users developing applications on LynxOS-178. The support for LynxOS-178 is made possible through collaboration with Lynx Software Technologies, strengthening the integration of Tracealyzer with this specialized RTOS.
