Redesigned improved version of uC/Probe from Micrium

Micrium has announced redesigned version of its visualization tool uC/Probe featuring drag-and-drop interface to create graphical representations of running embedded systems.

"All too often, the most powerful tools for embedded systems development are those that are also the most difficult to use," said Jean Labrosse, founder and CEO of Micrium. "The new version of uC/Probe, however, makes vast quantities of helpful information available through just a few mouse clicks."

Developers can use uC/Probe in the early stages of a project for proof-of-concept work, and can turn to the tool again after product deployment to troubleshoot devices in the field.

The newest version of uC/Probe, like its predecessors, is a Windows-based tool. It can be used to visualize nearly any embedded system that supports JTAG, TCP/IP, or RS-232 communication.

Micrium is set to release the new version of uC/Probe on May 18. Following the release, developers will be able to download a free, evaluation version of the tool from the Micrium Web site.
