A standard Embedded Cross Trigger (ECT) unit provides a mechanism for passing debug events between multiple processors, and allows synchronized debug and trace of an entire system on chip. If your target hardware supports a standard ECT unit, then you can use the ECT.bcd file provided with RealView Debugger to configure this logic for each target on your development platform. The following procedure describes how to set up the ECT for processor cross-triggering. For tracing, triggers are set up using tracepoints.
