downarrowWhat do I need in order to carry out trace on my system?
Applies to: RVD Trace, RealView Developer Suite (RVDS) 2.0, RealView Developer Suite (RVDS) 2.1, RealView Developer Suite (RVDS) 2.2, RealView Development Suite (RVDS) 3.0, RealView Development Suite (RVDS) 3.1, RealView Trace (RVT)

Trace with ARM based hardware targets

In order to carry out trace with real hardware your system must contain an ARM core with an Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM).

The following development tools are required to support ETM trace:

If the ARM system in use has an on-chip Embedded Trace Buffer (ETB) then a RVT is not essential, as captured trace is stored in the ETB and transferred over JTAG.

Legacy tools support for trace: 

  • The AXD v1.2 debugger, supplied as part of the ARM Developer Suite (ADS), requires an additional software plugin to support trace. Please see the FAQ entry at: http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/1406.html

  • AXD v1.2 supports ARM's (now obsolete) debug hardware Multi-ICE and Multi-Trace.

Trace with simulator models

RVD also supports trace capture from the RealView Instruction Set Simulator (RVISS) models. Instruction Set System Models (ISSMs) do not support trace.
