The system designer, you meant the hardware system designer?
Yes
So is the ATCLK a hardware stuff? As a software programmer, do I need to deal with ATCLK in drivers (including STM's and other components' drivers)?
ATCLK and the ATB is all hardware.
You only need to deal with issues outlined in the programmers model. ATB and clocking is completely transparent to the software.

Hi, Mike
Thanks for your answer!

Hi Chunyan,
A quick follow up to this after a discussion with one of the trace architects.
The STM drives the trace ATB interface at the main STM clock speed (the CLK input).
It is up to the system designer to choose when they bridge from the CLK to
the ATCLK for input to ATCLKed trace components.

Hi Mike,
The "Appendix A. CoreSight Port List" in [1] documents that many of CoreSight components have a clock signal called 'ATCLK', but I didn't see the description on STM ATCLK. So is there the 'ATCLK' signal on STM too? At what situations the CoreSight components need ATCLK?
Many thanks, Chunyan
