Understanding tracing

+

Tracing is a way to record debugging information that can be used during +software development. With tracing, you can generate detailed, low-level +information about an application's execution in the target device.

+

Examples of tracing are cases when messages are sent or received from a +component, when states change, when a certain function is entered or exited, +or anywhere else in the code where it is interesting to know if code has been +executed or not.

+

The tracing tools support Open System Trace (OST) trace format for +data transfer. OST is an open, platform-independent solution that is easily +integrated into the software development process.

+ +

See the overview graphic below showing the relations of the tools.
