Welcome to the 2nd beta release of the RTCU IEX!


 The RTCU Instrumented Execution (IEX) is a supplementary product to the RTCU IDE that significantly enhances the platform's test and debugging capabilities.

Using IEX, it is possible to monitor and instrument a running application on any NX32L-capable device. Hardware virtualization supports a swift switch between physical and virtual hardware so that, for example, only the I/O is virtual, whereas the remaining hardware is physical. With Insight!, a new and powerful window into application execution opens up, as all variables and threads can be monitored and changed live. RTCU IEX is a versatile tool that can be used in a development scenario as well as in a production environment where a hard-to-find bug or hardware issue needs to be analyzed.

The RTCU IEX is a powerful successor to the RTCU Emulator. As it runs on a physical device, it gives more exact information on an application's behavior. It uses virtual hardware similar to the RTCU Emulator but with shadowed physical hardware available at an instance. This allows for a gradual transition from full virtualization to entirely physical hardware as development progresses.
