ETM trace capture from DS-5 FVP

Hi Andrei,

Firstly, I must apologise for the delay in getting back to you on this.

Yes this is easy, to dump the trace out of any trace capture device, be it on the model or hardware, you can use the 'trace dump' command.

It will require a directory to be specified and then it will dump out the raw CoreSight-formatted trace data.

The command might be :

trace dump c:\temp\mytracedump

and then within c:\temp\mytracedump the raw trace data is contained within the FMTrace_0.bin in this case.

I hope that answers your question and I must again apologise for the delay.

Regards,

Stuart

This is (generally) the raw format that the trace data is stored in a trace capture buffer when using DS-5.

It is formatted like this because there may be trace data from multiple sources contained within.

So what you want is the raw trace data for a given trace data source, so instead do :

trace dump c:\temp\mytracedump FMT_0

as the 'FMT_0' is the trace source of the AEMv8 FVP (look under the 'Source' tab in the Trace view)

If you do :

help trace dump

then you will see the list of options available for dumping trace.

I hope that helps ?
