Information can now be decided not solely by the hint system of the respective microcontroller, but in addition by sampling by way of the debug interface, highlights PLS. Particualrly helpful for MCUs missing hint assist, it notes.
And the debug, hint, and check device now allows debugging, runtime monitoring, and validation of particular, knowledge flow-oriented algorithms. These embrace these at present included into embedded AI functions. For instance, assist for the Bosch Information Movement Structure (DFA), for a extremely parallel, dynamically configurable {hardware} accelerator.

AUTOSAR
Additionally in UDE 2026, the CPU use perform, for instance, now contains runtime evaluation of RTOS and AUTOSAR-based functions. For AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) apps, further working system hooks outlined within the AUTOSAR Runtime Interfaces (ARTI) allow a extra detailed visualisation of runtime behaviour.
The corporate writes:
“UDE makes use of these [hooks] to show service calls and spinlocks along with duties and interrupts within the execution sequence chart. This facilitates a extra exact evaluation of software and working system conduct, making it simpler to determine any efficiency points.”
Python scripting
Additionally, there may be assist to make use of Python scripts to automate debugging duties and software program assessments. Particularly, UDE 2026 gives its personal script debugger inside the built-in Python console.
This characteristic allows breakpoints and single-stepping in Python code, says the corporate, together with the show of Python variables inside a devoted watch window.
AURIX
Lastly, diversifications have been made to UDE 2026 so assist particular person MCU households and gadgets. For instance, the Infineon AURIX TC4Dx, the primary member of the TC4x household.
PLS writes:
“Hint assist has been prolonged for monitoring the runtime of virtualized functions, which signifies that digital machines managed by the TC4x {hardware} hypervisor at the moment are additionally seen within the hint data. As well as, UDE 2026 now additionally helps hint features for the so-called manufacturing gadgets. This gives the nice benefit of enabling hint recording throughout each the event part utilizing emulation gadgets, which can be cost-intensive, and within the subject utilizing normal MCUs.”
Notice that for AURIX TC3xx-based TTControl management items – for safety-critical functions – UDE 2026 additionally gives preconfigured goal configurations. That is to offer customers of those ECUs with a ready-to-work debug atmosphere, with out the necessity for the respective developer to make ECU-specific configurations beforehand.
Launch
The total market launch of UDE 2026 is deliberate for the start of Might this yr, says Programmierbare Logik & Systeme.
The corporate’s – debug and hint specialists for embedded programs – vary of supported high-end MCUs and embedded processors has additionally been expanded.
You possibly can learn extra on the corporate web site.
