Non-Intrusive System Visualization

The real-time RAM monitoring and visualization solution
for Arm^® Cortex^®-A/R/M and RISC-V^®.

EVRICA visualizes internal program data, contributing to a reduction in testing workloads.

What is EVRICA?

A high-speed data monitoring tool for real-time visualization of variables in RAM(random-access memory) during program execution.

Easy Operation × High Speed × Long Time

EVRICA also visualizes changes in the values of variables and parameters in the program in real-time and tracing memory data clarifies the process of arithmetic operations during system execution.

EVRICA visualizes the internal data of microcontroller quantitatively, ideal for motion verification.

EVRICA connects via JTAG/SWD and powers via USB for instant monitoring.

Context: why you need EVRICA?

The Backbone of Embedded Systems: Visualizing Control in Motion

Feedback control is the heart of embedded system development. For precise verification, it is essential to monitor calculation results at every control cycle without interrupting critical processes like actuator or communication control. You need to see the system evolve, continuously and in real-time.

EVRICA makes this possible: EVRICA delivers high-speed sampling and live visualization for "unstoppable" systems with no code modification required, providing insights into internal behavior with microsecond precision.

EVRICA visualizes internal behavior within the control cycle of embedded system feedback control.

Voices from the Frontline: Common Challenges

Zero Downtime: Monitoring without stopping the system.
Non-Intrusive: No impact on system performance or behavior.
Intra-Cycle Speed: Monitoring at speeds within the control cycle.
Plug & Play Simplicity: Set up and visualize as easily as possible.

Traditional Debugging Methods & Problems

(A)Memory Data Observation with JTAG Emulator

Debugging limitations Case1; conventional print statements and oscilloscopes require code changes, complex setups, and risk of overlooking phenomena due to human error.

(B)Memory Data Observation with JTAG Emulator

Debugging limitations Case 2; conventional JTAG emulator testing requires halting the program and suffers from slow measurement speeds.

Solution: Data Monitoring via EVRICA

The new departure; EVRICA overcomes conventional testing limitations, enabling easy, high-speed, and long-term data measurement.

Unlike traditional methods, EVRICA allows you to measure system input values, output values, values of variables and parameters, etc. at speeds of up to 6.5 µs per measurement point, without modifying the source code.
The measured data is stored on the hard disk of the host PC, enabling long-term observation over several hours or days.

Key Features of EVRICA

1. Data Acquisition via JTAG/SWD
Compatible with any interface compliant with Arm^® Debug I/F.
2. No Code Modification Required
Eliminates the need for monitor programs or software changes.
3. Optimized UI for Data Flow Verification
Provides powerful visualization, functioning like a "Software Oscilloscope."
4. High-Speed Data Acquisition
Captures up to 1,024 data points at speeds as fast as 6.5 µs per point.
5. Dynamic Data Visualization
High-speed streaming enables real-time data display on your PC.
6. Long-Term Data Logging
Measurement data can be saved directly to a PC's HDD for later retrieval and analysis.

EVRICA’s core advantages; including simple hardware setup, dynamic visualization with no code changes, and high-speed continuous logging.
