Trace signals
Some target devices can output high-bandwidth trace data while the target application is running.
Capturing this data and decoding it in Arm Development Studio allows you to examine the sequence of
instructions, and changes in data, around a given point or
trigger
.
For CoreSight
™
-compliant systems, DSTREAM-ST supports parallel trace capture of up to 4-bit wide
continuous-mode Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU) formatted trace, at up to 600Mbps per trace signal.
The HSSTP probe, in the DSTREAM-HT system, extends this functionality by supporting up to six lanes
of HSSTP trace.
The trace signals supported by the DSTREAM-HT system are:
TX[0-5][+/-]
The TX signals are differential outputs from the target, which are used to collect HSSTP trace
data.
CLK[+/-]
The CLK signal is a differential output from the DSTREAM-HT system. You can use this signal
as a very low-jitter clock source to drive the HSSTP output stage of the target device.
You can configure the frequency of this clock signal to provide a wide range of frequencies.
TRACEDATA[0-3]
The Trace Data signals are single-ended outputs from the target and can be used to collect 1-bit
to 4-bit trace data.
