SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================= +Coresight Dummy Trace Module +============================= + + :Author: Hao Zhang <quic_hazha@xxxxxxxxxxx> + :Date: May 2023 + +Introduction +--------------------------- + +Coresight Dummy Trace Module is for the specific devices that kernel +don't have permission to access or configure, e.g., CoreSight TPDMs +on Qualcomm platforms. So there need driver to register dummy devices +as Coresight devices. It may also be used to define components that +may not have any programming interfaces (e.g, static links), so that +paths can be established in the driver. Provide Coresight API for +dummy device operations, such as enabling and disabling dummy devices. +Build the Coresight path for dummy sink or dummy source for debugging. + +Config details +--------------------------- + +There are two types of nodes, dummy sink and dummy source. The nodes +should be observed at the below coresight path:: + + ``/sys/bus/coresight/devices``. + +e.g.:: + + / $ ls -l /sys/bus/coresight/devices | grep dummy + dummy_sink0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/soc@0:sink/dummy_sink0 + dummy_source0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/soc@0:source/dummy_source0 -- 2.17.1
