It would appear that the TPDM can send output to more than just the TDPA which generates coresight trace packets - a previously undisclosed feature. 2) The ports mechanism is a generic device tree mechanism, not something unique to the Coresight subsystem. 3) The CTI trigger connection will be defined in devicetree under the CTI component, as this is the interface between this component and coresight. As such this seems more like a general performance and debug component, with optional inputs to the coresight trigger mechanisms, rather than being a coresight component itself. Other SoCs have non-coresight component inputs to CTIs. For example the PL011 serial device on Juno has a signal into one of the system CTIs. > Here is a detailed example to explain how to use the TGU: > > In this example, the TGU is configured to use 2 conditions, 2 steps, and > the timer.
