This macrocell provides instruction trace and data trace for the Cortex-A5 microprocessor. The CoreSight ETM-A5 is designed for you to use in a CoreSight system. See the CoreSight Design Kit A5 Integration Manual for more information about how a CoreSight system uses the CoreSight ETM-A5 module.

Figure 1.1 shows the main functional blocks of a typical Cortex-A5 system in a System-on-Chip (SoC) that includes a CoreSight ETM-A5 macrocell.
