York, UK, 20th May 2010
Rapita Systems Ltd has unveiled the latest version of its RapiTime measurement and analysis of real-time embedded software tool.
Combining the proven data collection, measurement and analysis techniques of previous versions with new features means RapiTime v2.3 takes timing analysis of real-time embedded systems “to a higher level”.
New features to support execution time measurement, code coverage and worst-case execution time analysis include:
These new features mean RapiTime v2.3 quickly highlights opportunities for debugging and code optimization, rapidly leading the way to improved systems performance. “With RapiTime v2.3 we’ve added features that improve the user experience and significantly enhance systems performance,” said Product Development Director, Dr Antoine Colin. “We wanted to take analysis to a higher level,” continued Dr Colin, “and we’re confident RapiTime v2.3 meets that ambitious aim.” The Rewind facility at the heart of v2.3 gives users a tool they can use at their own pace to identify and debug problem code. Too often embedded developers face the situation where the target just stops working. Stepping backwards from the point where the application stopped to see the sequence of events leading up to the problem helps developers to identify the cause. Combined with the other key features of v2.3, Rewind offers an advanced route to performance optimisation. RapiTime v2.3 is officially launched on 24th May 2010.

- A specialised debugging facility which gives users the ability to move backwards and forwards - “Rewind” - through source code
- The opportunity to run coverage without timing analysis
- Improvements in how RapiTime handles the analysis of function pointers and RTOS tasks
