This course is intended for engineers designing silicon devices based around ARM cores incorporating the CoreSight debug architecture. The course covers an introduction to CoreSight and then presents detailed material on each aspect of the technology.
Please note that the course assumes familiarity with ARM-based designs and with the AMBA/AXI on-chip bus architecture.
Prerequisites:
A working knowledge of system-on-chip design.
Familiarity with ARM technology.
Familiarity with AMBA/AXI.
Audience:
Hardware design engineers who need to understand and work with the CoreSight debug architecture.
Modules:
CoreSight Overview
CoreSight Buses
Programmer’s Model
Topology Detection
ETM Specification
Control & Access (Debug Access Port, Embedded Cross Trigger)
