Part Number: TMS570LS3137

Hello,

For Development embedded applications on TMS570LS3137, do we need to add both debugger(JTAG, for debuggibg and downloading application software) and tracer(ETMi for tracing run time software) support..

Thank you very much.

    Hello,

    The ETM tracer is good to have, but it is not a MUST.

    ETM trace is a powerful debug mode that helps you get down to the most difficult problems. It is possible to trace all instructions in the core without affecting the execution of your system.

    To use ETM, you need a special trace debug probe that can store the instructions in its memory, and this kind of probe is much more expensive than a regular JTAG debugger. On the target board, the ETM trace pins on TMS570LS3137 device must be connected with the debug connector on the board, for example MIPI connector.
