Output data via SWO without debugger ?

Note: This was originally posted on 15th November 2010 at http://forums.arm.com

Hello,

i am using a Cortex-M3 (in my case a TI Stellaris LM3S9B92 Rev B1).
I would like to know, if it is possible to output data via SWO without a debugger ?
Do i need any clocks (via SWD) from outside (normally generated by the debugger) to output data via SWO (UART, not Manchester) ?

I already tried the following from inside Cortex-M3:

In setup:

#define TRCENA       0x01000000

#define DEMCR     (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000EDFC)))
#define TRACE_ENABLE_REGISTER     (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE0000E00)))
#define TRACE_CONTROL_REGISTER       (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE0000E80)))
#define ASYNC_CLOCK_PRESCALER_REGISTER (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE0040010)))
#define SELECTED_PIN_CONTROL_REGISTER   (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE00400F0)))

             DEMCR = DEMCR | TRCENA;

             TRACE_ENABLE_REGISTER = 0xFFFFFFFF;

             TRACE_CONTROL_REGISTER = 0x00000001;

             ASYNC_CLOCK_PRESCALER_REGISTER = 10;

             SELECTED_PIN_CONTROL_REGISTER = 0x00000002;

In main loop:

   if (DEMCR & TRCENA)
   {
     while (ITM_Port32(0) == 0);
     ITM_Port8(0) = 0x41;
   }

But i don't see any activity on SWO, nor is the line switched to output at all...

Best regards,

Martin
