Solution

  • You have two options to use TRACE32 functionality without using the GUI*:

    • You can start TRACE32 with a startup script by adding the command line option -s <script>. More information is available in debugger_user.pdf chapter "Command Line Arguments for Starting TRACE32".

    • You can use the TRACE32 Remote API. You can use the TRACE32 Remote API in shell scripts (by using the precompiled binaries) or in C programs or Python scripts. More information is available in api_remote_c.pdf and app_python.pdf.

    *The PowerView process is still required. You can start PowerView without a GUI by setting SCREEN=OFF in the config file.
