14 Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM)
The EM358x integrates the standard ARM
®
Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) version 3.4.
The ETM is a powerful debug component that enables reconstruction of program execution. The ETM is designed
as a high-speed, low-power debug tool that only supports instruction trace.
The ETM generates information that trace software tools use to reconstruct the execution of all or part of a
program. The ETM can be configured in software to capture only select trace information and only after a specific
sequence of conditions.
When the system is running, the ETM collects instruction data, compresses this information and delivers it off-chip
in real-time for post processing. The ETM emits trace information to the Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU). The
TPIU combines the other sources of debug data (DWT and ITM), and outputs it to the trace pins.
