SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================= +Coresight Dummy Trace Module +============================= + + :Author: Hao Zhang <quic_hazha@xxxxxxxxxxx> + :Date: May 2023 + +Introduction +------------ + +The 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. For these devices, a dummy driver is needed to register them as +Coresight devices. The module may also be used to define components that may +not have any programming interfaces (e.g, static links), so that paths can be +created in the driver. It provides Coresight API for operations on dummy +devices, such as enabling and disabling them. It also provides the Coresight +dummy sink/source paths for debugging. + +Config details +-------------- + +There are two types of nodes, dummy sink and dummy source. These nodes +are available at ``/sys/bus/coresight/devices``. + +Example output:: + + $ 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
