General setup
My debug setup that I will reference consists of the following components:
- J-Trace PRO Cortex-M
- Renesas EK-RA8M1 board with an on-board debug probe
- Cortex-M trace reference board (based on ST STM32F407)
- SEGGER Embedded Studio IDE
- Ozone debug software
- SystemView
- Linux Mint 22.2 on host PC
Generally, I will have three configurations running and switch between them as needed.
Configuration 1 will be just the Renesas eval board with the on-board debug probe.
Figure 3.1: Renesas EK-RA8M1 board
The only connection between the host PC and this board is via a micro-USB cable connected to the connector labeled J10 (DEBUG1). This will handle both power delivery and debug connection.
Configuration 2 will be the J-Trace PRO with the Renesas board.
The J-Trace PRO is plugged into the Cortex Debug+ETM connector (labeled DEBUG3), and the board is powered via the micro-USB port, as pictured in Figure 3.2. The blue cable at the top of the J-Trace PRO is plugged into the USB 3.0 port of...
