10.1. About the ETM interface

You can connect an external Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) to the ARM720T processor, so that you can perform real-time tracing of the code that the processor is executing.

In general, little or no glue logic is required to connect the ETM7 to the ARM720T processor. You program the ETM through a JTAG interface. The interface is an extension of the ARM TAP controller, and is assigned scan chain 6.

Note

If you have more than one ARM processor in your system, each processor must have its own dedicated ETM.

See the ETM7 (Rev 1) Technical Reference Manual for detailed information about integrating an ETM7 with an ARM720T processor.
