About the ETM
The ETM is an optional debug component that enables reconstruction of program
execution. The ETM is designed to be a high-speed, low-power debug tool that only
supports instruction trace. This ensures that area is minimized, and that gate count is
reduced.

interfaces to the
Trace Port Interface Unit
(TPIU).
