Hi,
got problems with ETM tracing with TMS570LC4357 and XDS560v2 STM.

Under Tools I enter PC Trace (which isn't possible with XDS560v2 STM I read somewhere, or?).

Select 560 V2 Trace:

When clicking Start I get this:

The reason for the dialog is maybe because it's not possible with BlackHawk?

But Function Profiling/Code Coverage doesn't work as well.

How do I setup ETM tracing?

Kind regards,

Lars,

The options to perform Trace on Hercules devices are quite limited.

Full Core Trace on Hercules devices can only be performed using the TMDSEMUPROTRACE

www.ti.com/.../TMDSEMUPROTRACE

Also, the Embedded Trace Buffer (ETB) is not present in Cortex R4/R5 devices, thus preventing performing PC trace (or any kind of other tracing) using the XDS560v2 STM Debug Probe you have. Sorry.

Hope this helps,
Rafael

Thanks Rafael,
we've ordered a Pro Trace now. :)

Kind regards,
