orbprofile
for ETM profiling and integration with {k/q}cachegrind, see https://github.com/KDE/kcachegrind. - Addition of
orbmortem
for ETM/ETB post-mortem analysis. - Licenses updated to use SPDX identifiers...the license itself hasn't changed, we just lost a chunk of text at the head of every file, with the license now in the LICENSE file.

3rd June 2022 (Version 1.13)
- Fix -v missing parameter
- Allow orbcat sockets to reconnect on loss of connection
- Add SAM5X SWO support
- Prevent segfault in orbtop when elf changes
- Fix assert when fpga has no data to deliver
- Add pyocd to list of trace sources *Complete fix for specified length integers on 32 bit platforms (Rasbian support)
- Compatability with languages other than C family (specifically Rust)
23rd October 2020 (Version 1.10)
- Replace
master
withmain
. - Single entry into a channel definition can be expanded multiple times (up to 4), so -c,z,"[%02x] %c" would print both a hex and ascii representation of a character, for example
- Link Monitoring and reporting (enabled with the
-m
option to orbuculum. - Simple colour support (disable by commenting out
SCREEN_HANDLING
in the makefile). - Internal restructuring to simplify the packet decode. This will help you if you want to implement your own handlers. See
orbcat.c
for a simple example, ororbtop.c
if timestamp ordering is important to you. - orbuculum now processes simple ISYNC messages, reporting them as type 8 in the hwevent fifo.
- ocbcat can now read directly from a file.
- orbcat and orbuculum can both terminate reading from a file when it's exhaused with the
-e
option. - Addition of JSON output for orbtop
- Interrupt measurements have been added into orbtop
- Per interval status reporting (overflow, sync etc) has been added to the orbtop interactive display.
- povray splash screen generator
- Refactoring of fifo code to allow it to be optional in orbuculum.c
9th September 2019 (Version 1.00)
- Change to BSD from GPL License
- Fixes to command line options, raw output and HW event decoding

14th August 2019 (Version 0.23)
- Small edits to gdbtrace.init for tidying purposes
- Fix integration time units in orbtop
- Allow orbtop to gracefully restart when elf file is changed (e.g. on recompile)
13th August 2019 (Version 0.22 - no functional changes)

4th August 2019 (Version 0.21)
- gdbinit is changed to reference SWO rather than SWD (Issue #22)
- Support for higher speed connections using linux kernels that support the BOTHER option.
- Addition of C++ demangling support.
- Specific gdbinit support for STM32F4
- Small changes to support libftdi1.4 exclusively. It's essential you use this version of libftdi or higher!
