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).
• Unless otherwise specified, any signals beginning with a lowercase ‘n’ are, by default, active-
LOW
.
It contains the following sections:
•
•
