A document on the Lauterbach site (to wit, http://www.lauterbach.com/tutorial.pdf) says "The tutorial assumes that the development system is already installed. You shouldhave basic knowledge of the C-programming language in order to be able to follow the example code found in this tutorial." Another document notes... "Before any communication between TRACE 32 and the Debugger is possible, the TRACE32 host driver program delivered from Lauterbach GmbH must be loaded. For communication with the TRACE32 system, the Debugger uses the Application Programming Interface (API) delivered from Lauterbach GmbH. This interface (API) communicates via a socket interface with the TRACE32 host driver program. The TRACE32 host driver program just routes the API requests to the TRACE32 system. This can be done with an Ethernet, parallel or optical interface." Both were found by searching for "Lauterbach 'Trace32.' If C is the language for their illustrations, it's likely that a combination of Inline::C, Perl and buying the API (yes, it's apparently proprietary) in Lauterbach's documentation would make your project possible. Please come back and update your question once you've read the tool's documentation and you have written some Perl code that's giving you a problem.	[reply]
