Percepio® Announces Tracealyzer® Version 4.9 With Major Improvements for Linux Users

Percepio AB, the leading provider of continuous observability solutions for embedded edge systems, announces the immediate availability of Tracealyzer® version 4.9—the latest update to its flagship observability tool for embedded software.

This release focuses on improving the user experience when installing and running Tracealyzer on a Linux host computer. A new standalone installation package that includes everything needed to run Tracealyzer has dramatically simplified installation. A new user can run on most Linux distributions in a few minutes.

“Providing great Linux support is of key importance to us at Percepio. Many software developers prefer Linux, and we have a growing developer community that has contributed with a lot of feedback and testimonials over the years. We are very grateful for their support and want to give back to the Linux community with this Tracealyzer release, where the main objective is improved user experience for Linux users,” says Johan Kraft, founder and CTO at Percepio.

The user experience and performance on Linux have been improved significantly. Several Linux-related bugs and GUI issues have been fixed, the application starts up faster, and traces load faster.

The new version also updates the TraceRecorder support for Eclipse ThreadX and SAFERTOS® to improve recorder integration and support the most recent RTOS features. SAFERTOS support is provided via WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems.

Tracealyzer 4.9 also improves support for LynxOS-178®, the standards-based RTOS for safety-critical real-time applications from Lynx Software Technologies. This includes the ability to record process data in the TraceRecorder library and group threads by process in the trace view. Lynx Software Technologies provides LynxOS-178 support.
