Figure 7-5: CTI Trigger Connections
Each CTI trigger input can be connected through a CTM to one or more trigger outputs under control by
a debugger. The following figure shows a pictorial representation of CTI trigger connections. The red lines
depict the impact one trigger input can have on the entire system.

Program Trace Macrocell (PTM)
The PTM performs real-time program flow instruction tracing and provides a variety of filters and triggers
that can be used to trace specific portions of code.
The HPS contains two PTMs. Each PTM is paired with a processor and CTI. Trace data generated from the
PTM can be transmitted off-chip using HPS pins, or to the FPGA fabric, where it can be pre-processed and
transmitted off-chip using high-speed FPGA pins.
