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, 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
