RealView® Debugger Trace User Guide 1.2.1. Trace hardware

1.2.1. Trace hardware

To capture trace information using trace hardware, you must use one of the following solutions:

ETM trace
on-chip trace buffer such as Embedded Trace Buffer™ (ETB™)
a Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) solution such as RealView ICE.

Note

RealView Debugger does not support tracing of Digital Signal Processors (DSPs).

ETM trace solutions

If you are using an ETM trace solution that exports trace information to external trace capture hardware, that is a Trace Port Analyzer (TPA), then you must have the following components:

an ETM-enabled ARM architecture-based processor
a TPA, which can be an ARM RealView Trace unit (used for tracing in conjunction with ARM RealView ICE).

On-chip trace buffer solutions

RealView Debugger trace supports the following on-chip trace buffer solutions:

ARM On-Chip Trace, that is an ETM with ETB
Intel XScale.

JTAG solutions

RealView Debugger trace supports the ARM RealView ICE version 1.1, and later, JTAG solution.
