10. Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU)

The EM346 integrates the standard ARM® Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU). The TPIU receives a data stream from

the on-chip trace data generated by the standard ARM® Instrument Trace Macrocell (ITM), buffers the data in a

FIFO, formats the data, and serializes the data to be sent off-chip through alternate functions of the GPIO. Since

the primary function of the TPIU is to provide a bridge between on-chip ARM system debug components and

external GPIO, the TPIU itself does not generate data. Figure 10.1 illustrates the three primary components of the

TPIU.

Figure 10.1. TPIU Block Diagram

The TPIU is composed of:



Asynchronous FIFO: The asynchronous FIFO receives a data stream generated by the ITM and enables

the trace data to be sent off-chip at a speed that is not dependent on the speed of the data source.



Formatter: The formatter inserts source ID signals into the data packet stream so that trace data can be re-

associated with its trace source. Since the EM346 has only one trace source, the ITM, it is not necessary to

use the formatter, and, therefore, the formatter only adds overhead into the data stream. Since certain

modes of the TPIU automatically enable the formatter, these modes should be avoided whenever possible.



Trace Out: The trace out block serializes the data and sends it off-chip by the proper alternate output GPIO

functions.

The six pins available to the TPIU are:



SWO



TRACECLK



TRACEDATA0



TRACEDATA1



TRACEDATA2



TRACEDATA3

Since these pins are alternate outputs of GPIO, refer to "17. Pin Definitions" on page 121 and "7. GPIO (General

Purpose Input/Output)" on page 48 for complete pin descriptions and configurations.

Notes:

1. The SWO alternate output is mirrored on GPIO PC1 and PC2.

2. GPIO PC1 shares both the SWO and TRACEDATA0 alternate outputs. This is possible because SWO and

TRACEDATA0 are mutually exclusive, and only one may be selected at a time in the trace-out block.

The Ember software utilizes the TPIU to efficiently output debug data. Altering the TPIU configuration may conflict

with Ember debug output.
