Processor trace involves the following steps:
- 1.
Programming the design on the PolarFire SoC device.
- 2.
Running the firmware on the required processors (E51 and U54) using SoftConsole.
- 3.
Discovering Trace modules using SoftConsole.
- 4.
Configuring the required RISC-V trace analytic modules using SoftConsole.
- 5.
Running and monitoring the trace data using SoftConsole.
Note: Processor trace data contains the assembly code which must be same as in the debugger’s Disassembly view.
The user can configure one or more RISC-V analytic modules for multi-processor trace. The following figure shows the required trace modules and the flow involved in processor trace.
