of_cpu_trace_ntrace
N-Trace encoder
Maturity plannedTargets FPGA + ASICDifficulty HardPriority 2
Nexus-based instruction and optional data trace encoder producing N-Trace messages for existing Nexus tool chains.
Planned. This block is specified in the catalog with its interfaces and targets. No implementation exists yet; the skeleton command below generates a lint-clean shell with its ports and registers.
Interfaces
| Port | Direction | Kind | Width | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ctrl | in/out | APB control bus | 32 | Control and status registers, including ID, VERSION and STATUS |
| irq | out | interrupt | 1 | Interrupt request |
| itrace | in | valid-qualified bus | 128 | |
| msgs | out | AXI4-Stream | 32 |
Standards
- RISC-V N-Trace (Nexus-based Trace)
- IEEE-ISTO 5001-2012 (Nexus)
