About this book
DSTREAM-PT System and Interface Design Reference Guide describes the interfaces of the
DSTREAM-PT debug and trace units, with details about designing Arm architecture-based devices and
PCBs. This document is written for those using DSTREAM-PT or those designing PCBs.
Using this book
This book is organized into the following chapters:
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.
Chapter 2 Target interface connectors
DSTREAM-ST has an Arm JTAG 20 connector, a CoreSight 20 connector, an auxiliary
connector, and a user I/O connector.
When you design a target board to connect to the DSTREAM-PT system, you must consider the
rules that are discussed in this chapter.
Glossary
The Arm
®
Glossary is a list of terms used in Arm documentation, together with definitions for those
terms. The Arm Glossary does not contain terms that are industry standard unless the Arm meaning
differs from the generally accepted meaning.
