Debugger supports more than 150 Chip Architectures
05. March 2026 - Lauterbach is presenting its new PowerDebug E50 essential-line debug tool. Building on the success of the widely used PowerDebug E40, it offers several improvements that set a new industry benchmark for standard embedded debug tools. The Lauterbach PowerDebug E50 offers developers enhanced performance to assist with simple and complex debugging tasks, and it can be expanded to record program flow and data access in real time. This can be optionally correlated with captured digital and analogue signals.
Supporting over 15,000 devices from more than 150 chip architectures, the PowerDebug E50 provides unlimited multicore debugging, enabling the simultaneous debugging of all cores in an SoC, regardless of architecture. With synchronisation of both breakpoints and runtime control, engineers have dominion over the entire system. Improvements to the PowerDebug E50 include a debug controller that is three times faster and an option for Gigabit Ethernet to support remote access, in addition to the usual USB 3 connection. This enables engineers to securely share their target with colleagues in another country via well-established IPv4 or modern IPv6. Furthermore, the PowerDebug E50 can be powered by 12 V power supplies, which simplifies operation in cars, for example.
Engineers who start their development on emulators, simulators or virtual targets with Lauterbach's PowerView software can reuse everything when debugging and profiling real chips with the PowerDebug E50 in later development stages. Scripts for test automation, the feature set and the user experience remain the same. “The new PowerDebug E50 is not only our best essential-line PowerDebug ever, but also the new industry benchmark for standard embedded debug tools”, says Holger Lohn, Product Manager at Lauterbach GmbH. “It helps all developers to track down issues no matter how complex an SoC or software stack is. The only superior debug tool on the market is our PowerDebug X51, to which developers can seamlessly transition when needed."
Visitors of Embedded World 2026 can explore the PowerDebug E50 at the Lauterbach Booth 4-210.
