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
