RealView Trace

ARM's RealView Trace (RVT) allows you to capture a full processor trace from any ETM-enabled ARM core. Such cores include mostly ARM9 and ARM11 processors, but some ARM7 chips such as the Philips LPC21xx range support ETM. RVT is an add-on for RVI and cannot function independently.

RealView Trace supports many advanced features:

• Deep programmable depth trace buffer
  • 4 million processor cycles using a 4 bit trace port (with timestamp)
  • 2 million processor cycles using a 8/16 bit trace port (with timestamp)
  • 8 million processor cycles using a 4 bit trace port (no timestamp)
  • 4 million processor cycles using a 8/16 bit trace port (no timestamp)
• Maximum trace clock frequency 250 MHz
• Fast on-the-fly trace data upload
• Fully variable trigger position
• ETM protocols v1.x, v2.x, v3.x for ETM7/9, ETM10 and ETM11
• ETM trace ports modes supported:
  • single and doubled edged clocking
  • normal, multiplexed and de-multiplexed ports
  • 4, 8, 16-bit data port widths
• Time stamp (48-bit) 10ns resolution 32 day duration

RealView Trace is only supported on the Windows platforms at present.
