1. Article purpose[edit source]
The purpose of this article is to provide information on the Arm® CoreSight™ hardware subsystem.
It explains what are the principle peripherals of this subsystem.
2. Peripheral overview[edit source]
Arm® CoreSight™ products include
- a wide range of trace macrocells for Arm® processors,
To enable the debug and trace of the most complex, multi-core SoCs, Arm® CoreSight™ products include
- a system and software instrumentation,
- and a comprehensive set of IP blocks.
Arm® has defined an open CoreSight architecture to allow SoC designers to add "debug and trace" capabilities for other IP cores in to the CoreSight™ infrastructure.
2.1. Components description[edit source]
The debug features are based on Arm® CoreSight™ components
