Hello All, This may not news now, but I just found it this morning :) https://community.arm.com/soc/b/blog/posts/the-future-of-debug-and-trace-ha… I else noticed that STMicroelectronics is among the first licensees of CoreSight SoC-600, congratulations! Cheers, Chunyan

CoreSight components benchmarking/overhead evaluation

by Muhammad Abdul WAHAB

Hello, I have a couple of questions regarding CoreSight components. How can I evaluate the bandwidth of CS components ? How to evaluate energy overhead introduced by activating CS components ? What would be the best metrics to evaluate CS components or similar debug components ? Besides, I tried evaluating CS components overhead and I did not really see any change in execution time overhead. I understand that this is because the PTM is non-intrusive debug component and that it has a copy of cpu instructions and it operates in parallel. Am I right about this ? Thank you very much for your help and time. Best Regards, M.Abdul WAHAB

Debugging via STM

by lamouchi_KARIM

Hi all, I want to use STM to debug a platform based on cortex a7 under linux and windows. I want to decode all the packet generated by this component within ETB buffer ,then desplay them in a readebal file. Could you help please? Best regards, Karim.

Re: CoreSight components benchmarking/overhead evaluation

by Muhammad Abdul WAHAB

Hi Mathieu, Le 15/03/2017 à 18:00, Mathieu Poirier a écrit : > What do you mean by "bandwidth"? Please give us a little more details. I am using PTM component to trace a program on Linux. I recover the trace on FPGA using TPIU. I was wondering what types of program will generate so much trace that the PTM's internal FIFO will overflow and I won't be able to get the trace for my program. To evaluate this, I thought about benchmarking CoreSight with MiBench programs but I did not see any overflow (by having a look at decoded trace and having a look at I-Sync packet). > That won't be easy as it is HW dependent. Energy probes that tap > directly into the CPU cores would be best but again, the probe points > need to be present in HW. That's only one part of the equation - the > debug power domain also has to be measured. I don't have any measurement tools. I was thinking more about a simulator or something that would allow me to do it from Zynq SoC. I think I might be able to get more details on this one from Xilinx as I am using Xilinx Zynq SoC. > Again, you will have to give me a little more details on what you need to do. The idea is to find suitable metrics to evaluate debug components. Depending on the type of trace source and trace sink, there will be differences. My trace source will be PTM and I was thinking about first using ETB as trace sink to evaluate the maximum trace bandwidth. Then, do the same evaluation with TPIU. I was wondering what will be the suitable metrics to evaluate CS components efficiency. Is it enough to benchmark the CS Debug components with MiBench Benchmark and evaluate execution time overhead. > I hope this helps Of course, it helped. Thank you so much for your quick reply.

[PATCH 0/2] Support generation of last branch events with perf inject

by Sebastian Pop

The first patch is a minor typo to allow printing the trace info. The second patch enables translation of perf.data files into last branch events that are then processed by the autoFDO tool to extract a coverage file.

[PATCH] arm64: dts: juno: update definition for programmable replicator.

by Mike Leach

Juno platforms have a programmable replicator splitting the trace output to TPIU and ETR. Currently this is not being programmed as it is being treated as a none-programmable replicator - which is the default operational mode for these devices. The TPIU in the system is enabled by default, and this combination is causing back-pressure in the trace system resulting in overflows at the source. Replaces the existing definition with one that defines the programmable replicator, using the "qcom,coresight-replicator1x" driver that provides the correct functionality for CoreSight programmable replicators.

[PATCH] hwtracing: coresight: Fixes coresight DT parse to get correct output port ID.

by Mike Leach

Corrected to get the port numbering to allow programmable replicator driver to operate correctly. By convention, CoreSight devices number ports, not endpoints in the .dts files:- port { reg<N> endpoint { } } Existing code read endpoint number - always 0x0, rather than the correct port number.

Did you get the kernel from github as per my previous email? Kernel 4.4.23 is very old and doesn't have all of the CoreSight features required to integrate with perf. Also, keep in mind that since you are not working with Juno CPUIdle _needs_ to be disabled and you have to do make sure all power domains and clocks for the CoreSight IP blocks are managed properly. Out of curiosity, what platform is this?

That information, when configured on the cmd line, will end up in the perf.data file. From there it will be decoded and rendered by the openCSD library. Mike, can you comment on the format of the information that will be found in the packet? Perhaps you have an example somewhere of traces generated by the "cycacc" and "timestamp" option? You will definitely need to create your own scripts as nothing we have done so far uses those configuration parameters.
