System Trace MacroCell (STM) by ARM
The System Trace MacroCell by ARM implements the MIPI STPv2 protocol. Like other CoreSight modules trace data can be directed
to an Embedded Trace Buffer (ETB) or exported via the Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU).
When exported via TPIU, the trace port characteristics are the same as for the ETM.
System Trace Module (STM) by Texas Instruments
The System Trace Module by Texas Instruments implements the MIPI STPv1 protocol. Trace data can be directed to an Embedded Trace Buffer (ETB) or exported via a Parallel Trace Interface (PTI).
For OMAP4 devices also decoding of high-level hardware messages from the Clock Management Interface (CMI) and Power Management Interface (PMI) are supported. The image below depicts the clock activity of a hardware module of an OMAP4430:
Example files for the PandaBoard are available here.
Drivers for hard- and software instrumentation are provided by Texas Instruments: CTools Library.
Independend of the System Trace implementation T32 also offers the possibility to decode and display printf-style messages generated by the operating system or user application running on the target:
