Hello,
I m trying to capture and decode PTM trace from Cortex A9 dual core.
I m successful in configuring the driver(arch/arm/kernel/etm.c) and setting the funnel to get data in ETB. But I don't know how to decode these traces.
Anyone has any pointers?
Thanks, Arun
I attached some tools I use to decode the traces. I have used this on the A8, A9 and A15. I assume since you cc-ed me you have already applied the kernel patches I posted a while back. Without them you will not get useful trace data from a dual core processor.
Thank you very much for the tools. Hope I have taken all your patches.
Here is how my git log --oneline looks on arch/arm/kernel/etm.c

I ll let you know the results.
I m able to see decoded ptm traces using the following command, python3.1 etm-objdump.py --trace-decoder=./etm --trace-decoder-options="--pft-1.1 --sourceid-match 2" ptm.bin
Thanks, Arun
