8 <h2>Understanding tracing</h2> |
|
9 <p>Tracing is a way to record debugging information that can be used during |
|
10 software development. With tracing, you can generate detailed, low-level |
|
11 information about an application's execution in the target device.</p> |
|
12 <p>Examples of tracing are cases when messages are sent or received from a |
|
13 component, when states change, when a certain function is entered or exited, |
|
14 or anywhere else in the code where it is interesting to know if code has been |
|
15 executed or not.</p> |
|
16 <p>The tracing tools support <b>Open System Trace (OST)</b> trace format for |
|
17 data transfer. OST is an open, platform-independent solution that is easily |
|
18 integrated into the software development process.</p> |
