Using the industry-standard GDB Remote Protocol, Ozone is now accessible to a much broader range of developers.

“After listening to requests from valued customers and developers, we decided to open up Ozone for use with their debug probes,” says Rolf Segger, Founder, SEGGER. “I encourage every developer to try Ozone — it’s intuitive and powerful, and it shows you exactly what’s happening in your application. One of my favorite features is the source window, which can interleave C/C++/Rust code with disassembly, enabling users to gain maximum insight.”

Going beyond traditional debugging, Ozone delivers advanced performance analysis tools, including real-time tracing, profiling, and code coverage. This means users can measure execution time, detect bottlenecks, and analyze system behavior in the event of crashes or technical issues. A great advantage of instruction tracing is that it enables a user to see what happened before a crash, especially before the occurrence of a fault exception. Ozone's synchronization of instruction traces and associated source code makes this a powerful feature. 

Ozone also lets users test automation and command-line controls. They can design fully automated tests with Ozone's scripting language, as well as control Ozone from the terminal.

Ozone runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Furthermore, it supports Arm- and RISC-V-based devices, and it works with virtually any compiler, toolchain, or integrated development environment. Its intuitive, fully configurable user interface is designed to make debugging fast and efficient.

An Ozone license is included at no cost with J-Link PLUS, ULTRA+, PRO, PoE, and WiFi models, as well as with J-Trace PRO. Licenses are available for use with third-party probes and simulators. For evaluation and non-commercial use, Ozone is available free of charge under SEGGER’s Friendly License.
