The ITM provides the following sources of trace information:
•
Software trace. Software can write directly to ITM stimulus registers. This causes
packets to be emitted.
•
Hardware trace. These packets are generated by the DWT, and emitted by the
ITM.
•
Time stamping. Timestamps are emitted relative to packets.
Chapter 11
System Debug
describes the ITM.
1.2.7
MPU
You can configure the implementation to include an MPU to provide memory
protection. The MPU checks access permissions and memory attributes. It contains
eight regions, and an optional background region that implements the default memory
map attributes.
Chapter 9
Memory Protection Unit
describes the MPU.
1.2.8
ETM
You can configure the system at implementation to include an ETM. This is a low-cost
trace macrocell that supports instruction trace only.
Chapter 14
Embedded Trace Macrocell
describes the ETM.
1.2.9
AHB-AP
You can configure the implementation to include an AHB-AP.
AHB-AP
on page 11-39 describes the AHB-AP.
1.2.10
AHB Trace Macrocell interface
You can configure the system at implementation to include an
AHB Trace Macrocell
(HTM) interface. If you do not enable this option at the time of implementation, the
HTM interface does not function because the required logic is not included.
1.2.11
TPIU
You can configure the system at implementation to include an TPIU. The TPIU acts as
a bridge between the Cortex-M3 trace data from the ITM, an ETM if present, and an
off-chip Trace Port Analyzer.
