The QTrace system does not control the target JTAG interface and so does not configure target trace
hardware directly. Instead, a debug script is run from the IDE to configure the target trace pins and
registers. This is done after the target FLASH has been programmed but before the application is run.

Supported IDEs
A number of debugger scripts are supplied with the QTrace Analyser to support most common IDEs, as
shown in Table 1 below.

Supported target devices
The QTrace probe will interface to any ARM Cortex-M3/M4 based processor with an ETM trace port.
Currently the QTrace Analyser supports STM32 F1/F2/F3/F4/L4 devices from ST Microelectronics that
have the ETM trace option. More manufacturers and devices will be added, see www.pdqlogic.com for
further details.
