However, tools such as perf, achieve this by saving the metadata for the session. If you are programming the trace ID, then it should be possible to read back the same register to get the required information for your trace session. If this is genuinely not possible for your system, then treat as a fixed ID as I describe below. > Apart from the TPDA's atid, we also have some other sources with fixed > id in HW on our internal device. > Do you have any suggestion to how to allocate the IDs for the source > with fixed id in HW ? > > Fixed IDs in hardware - assuming that these devices do write directly onto the trace bus using the ATID, should be accommodated by reserving the fixed ID in any scheme used to allocate IDs, In your case this would be to set a bit at the correct area in the bitfield. As mentioned we are working on an updated system to dynamically allocate IDs for CoreSight sources - a reservation scheme for fixed ID devices will be provided .
