The Debug and Trace functions support the developer in analyzing issues on both a software and system level.

The main Debug and Trace system features are:

  • Tool access to debug resources and all other address mapped registers and memories

  • Routing of triggers for synchronized start or stop of CPUs and peripherals, and to and from trigger pins

  • Parallel multi-core tracing to on-chip buffers or off-chip to dedicated (SGBT, DAP) or functionally shared interfaces (GETH)

Note: The on-chip multi-tool system (OCMTS)is composed of Debug and Trace modules. If both modules are involved in a specific topic, then they are also referred to as simply as 'OCMTS'.
