Chapter 1
Debug and trace interface
The Arm debug and trace interface enables powerful software debug and optimization on an Arm
processor-based target system. It is based on the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) interface coupled with various
additional signals. This chapter introduces these signals and describes their use within the interface.
Note
Unless otherwise specified:
• All pull-up/pull-down resistors that are discussed in this chapter must be between 1K and 100K (10K
is recommended).
• Any signals that begin with a lowercase ‘n’ are, by default, active-
LOW
.
It contains the following sections:
•
•
1.2 Return Clock (RTCK) signal
•
•
•
1.5 Serial Wire Debug (SWD) signals
•
•
1.7 Target Voltage Reference (VTREF) signals
•
1.8 I/O diagrams for DSTREAM-HT signals
