11.4.8. Program Trace Macrocell

The PTM performs real-time program flow instruction tracing and provides a variety of filters and triggers that can be used to trace specific portions of code.

The HPS contains two PTMs. Each PTM is paired with a processor and CTI. Trace data generated from the PTM can be transmitted off-chip using HPS pins, or to the FPGA fabric, where it can be pre-processed and transmitted off-chip using high-speed FPGA pins.
