Tracing on AndesTech N25F
This section describes how to get started with trace on the AndesTech N25F MCUs. This section assumes that there is already a basic knowledge about trace in general (what is trace, what different implementations of trace are there, etc.). If this is not the case, we recommend to read Trace chapter in the J-Link User Manual (UM08001).
Some of the examples are shipped with a compiled .JLinkScriptfile (extension .pex), should you need the original source, please get in touch with SEGGER directly via our support system: https://www.segger.com/ticket/.
To create your own .JLinkScriptfile you can use the following guide as reference: How_to_configure_JLinkScript_files_to_enable_tracingMinimum requirements
In order to use trace on the AndesTech N25F MCU devices, the following minimum requirements have to be met:
- J-Link software version V9.56 or later
- Ozone V3.40h or later (if streaming trace and / or the sample project from below shall be used)
- J-Link Plus V12 or later for buffer (on-chip) trace
To rebuild the project our IDE Embedded Studio can be used. The recommended version to rebuild the projects is V8.26c. But the examples are all prebuild and work out-of-the box with Ozone, so rebuilding is not necessary.
The project below has been tested with the minimum requirements mentioned above and a ADP-XC7K160/410.

Trace buffer
Open the *_TraceBuffer.jdebug project contained in the example project in Ozone.
Specifics/Limitations
The eval board must be programmed with a trace capable FPGA image. For more information please contact AndesTech support.
