Show HN: I built a debugger for multiprocessor real-time firmware debugging

I built a debugger for multiprocessor real-time firmware debugging is active in the show hn launch space.

Profile

Hi everyone, I built the Active-Pro. It is a tracing firmware debugger with built in logic analyzer/oscope channels that can debug multiple processors simultaneously.I built the device to get a better view of my embedded designs than my trusted logic analyzer/jtag setup. I routinely use multiple processors and FPGAs and can't use breakpoints due to it killing my system.I basically took the best of trace (aka printf/print/caveman) debugging (fast, easy, direct, familiar), minimized the pitfalls (slow and obtrusive) and sync it to logic, analog and decoded bus signals. The tool gives a really clear picture of what is going on in real-time in all parts of my system.The software app runs in demo

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
