Thanks Pawel, now I understand better the Coresight architecture, but STM has its own hardware architecture independent to Coresight not connected to Debug Bus nor Funnel Trace bus. STM exposes a set of registers to our main CPU for its control, it is connected to our ST-BUS through interconnect. I

Proposal for a MIPI System Trace Module driver

2011-02-07 Thread Philippe Langlais
Hi All, This proposal is a call for contribution for a STM driver and its possible usages in kernel tracing infrastructure. I'd like to know if another ARM SoC plan to use or already use STM or some similar hardware enabling the same kind of MIPI trace points. If yes, we can share our works. What
