This is a summary of the new features and other major changes in
this release:
DS-5 Debugger
- Debug of programs that use overlays
- Cache and MMU views for Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A5
- Jython updated to version 2.7
- Detection of and example configuration scripts for the
CoreSight ELA-500 Embedded Logic Analyzer
- Enhanced Stack View which now shows parameter and local

Mali Graphics Debugger
DS-5 now ships with the Mali Graphics Debugger. The Mali Graphics
Debugger allows developers to trace OpenGL ES and OpenCL API calls in
their application and understand frame-by-frame the effect on the
application to help identify possible issues. For more information

Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs)
Many more FVPs are now shipped with DS-5. FVPs allow DS-5 users
to run code in a high speed simulated environment which means you can
check your code functions as expected without access to real hardware.
For DS-5 Ultimate users, the FVPs cover the following Arm microprocessor cores:
- Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0plus, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, Cortex-M7,
Cortex-R4, Cortex-R5, Cortex-R7, Cortex-R8, Cortex-A5, Cortex-A7,
Cortex-A9, Cortex-A15, Cortex-A17, Cortex-A32, Cortex-A35,
Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57, Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73
For DS-5 Professional users, the FVPs cover the following Arm microprocessor cores:
- Cortex-M3, Cortex-R4, Cortex-A9
