Read-As-Zero, Writes Ignored.

Embed Frame Sync Packet in the trace stream. Setting this bit to 1 enables the formatter to insert frame sync packets in the trace stream at periodic intervals. If this bit is set and the Synchronization Counter is enabled, the formatter inserts a 32-bit frame sync packet in the trace stream when the counter reaches 0. This bit is effective only when formatting is enabled, that is when FFCR.EnTI=1 or FFCR.EnFt=1, and it is ignored when the formatter is in bypass mode.

Periodic Synchronization Count. Determines the reload value of the Synchronization Counter. The reload value takes effect the next time the counter reaches zero. When trace capture is enabled, the Synchronization Counter counts the number of bytes of trace data that is stored into the trace memory, regardless of whether the trace data has been formatted by the TMC or not, since the occurrence of the last sync request on the ATB slave interface. When the counter reaches 0, a sync request is sent on the ATB slave interface. Reads from this register return the reload value that is programmed in this register. This field resets to 0x0A, that is, the default sync period is 2^10 bytes. If a reserved value is programmed in this register field, the value 0x1B is used instead, and subsequent reads from this register also return 0x1B. The following constraints apply to the values written to the PSCount field: 0x0 - synchronization is disabled, 0x1-0x6 - reserved, 0x7-0x1B - synchronization period is 2^PSCount bytes. The smallest value 0x7 gives a sync period of 128 bytes. The maximum allowed value 0x1B gives a sync period of 2^27 bytes, 0x1C-0x1F - reserved.
