ETM is a trace source component which outputs information stream about program execution and data accesses. It is common to all Cortex profiles (A, R and M). winIDEA provides a dialog for ETM component configuration within Analyzer trigger configuration.

 

 

Configuration

ETM Configuration is accomplished via Manual Trace Configuration. Use the Trace Wizard option for easier configuration of common trace scenarios.

 

Dialog is made per ETM architecture specification. Note that specific ETM implementation defines the available functionality and resources. Consult specific ETM implementation documentation for detailed information about available functionality and resources. In winIDEA the parts that are not available on ETM for selected CPU are disabled and cannot be configured in dialog.

Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETMv4)

ETMv4 is a newer version of Embedded Trace Macrocell architecture. The ETMv4 architecture introduces the following changes from previous trace architectures from ARM:

•supports addresses up to 64 bits wide

•supports the ARMv8 architecture

•in addition to instruction tracing, it provides optional support for:

oData tracing

oEvent tracing

oTracing of conditional non-branch instructions

•provides better compression than previous trace architectures from ARM

 

Devices using ETMv4 e.g. are: iMX8MD, iMX8MMini, iMX8MMiniD, iMX8MMiniQ, iMX8MQ, iMX8QXP, iMX8X, iMXRT117x, MPS3_Cortex-R52, R_CarH3, R_CarM3, R_CarM3N, R_CarM3W, R_CarV3H, R_CarV3M, R_Carx3, S32G274A, S32R455, S32S24x, S32V234, SR6P7C, STM32H7x3, STM32H7x5, TVII-B-H-4M, TVII-B-H-8M, ZynqUSp_4xA53.

 

Dialog is made per ETMv4 architecture specification. As for previous version of ETM, implementation defines the available functionality and resources. Consult specific ETM implementation documentation and device reference manual for detailed information about available functionality and resources. In winIDEA the parts that are not available on ETMv4 for selected CPU are disabled and cannot be configured in dialog.
