- orbtrace utility now supports SWO
- Fix packet scheduling from orbuculum
- Move to semantic numbering - 2.00 becomes 2.0.0.
- Various fixes in orbmortem for reliability and performance
- Improve timing of orbuculum mux to ensure data get flushed to orbmortem on crash
- Version bumped to 2.00 in Progress because of size and impact of changes
- Addition of
orbprofilefor ETM profiling and integration with {k/q}cachegrind, see https://github.com/KDE/kcachegrind. - Addition of
orbmortemfor 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.

- Extensive changes to support orbtrace
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
masterwithmain. - 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
-moption to orbuculum. - Simple colour support (disable by commenting out
SCREEN_HANDLINGin the makefile). - Internal restructuring to simplify the packet decode. This will help you if you want to implement your own handlers. See
orbcat.cfor a simple example, ororbtop.cif 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
-eoption. - 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
