Hi Chenkai,
I am taking the liberty of CC'ing the coresight mailing list so that people with more experience with the HW implementation can chime in.

Dear Poirier, I‘m recently read the Linux driver of coresight, I have a question for you about the coresight driver ;
That is a lot of reading.
I have a SOC(without arm core) ，in which we integrate the ARM CoreSight;
Interesting.
Is the CoreSight driver still compatible for the soc without ETM，beacuse SOC donot include arm core； and look forwarding to your replay.
The coresight framework does not specifically need an ETM device to work and will transport traces generated by any kind of source that comply with the specification. But you will need to supply your own decoder in the perf tools if you want to take advantage of the perf infrastructure.
