When an input trigger becomes active, the attached channel will +become active. Any output trigger attached to that channel will also +become active. The active channel is propagated to other CTIs via the CTM, +activating connected output triggers there, unless filtered by the CTI +channel gate. + +It is also possible to activate a channel using system software directly +programming registers in the CTI. + +The CTIs are registered by the system to be associated with CPUs and/or other +CoreSight devices on the trace data path. When these devices are enabled the +attached CTIs will also be enabled. By default/on power up the CTIs have +no programmed trigger/channel attachments, so will not affect the system +until explicitly programmed. + +The hardware trigger connections between CTIs and devices is implementation +defined, unless the CPU/ETM combination is a v8 architecture, in which case +the connections have an architecturally defined standard layout. + +The hardware trigger signals can also be connected to non-CoreSight devices +(e.g. UART), or be propagated off chip as hardware IO lines. + +All the CTI devices are associated with a CTM. On many systems there will be a +single effective CTM (one CTM, or multiple CTMs all interconnected), but it is +possible that systems can have nets of CTIs+CTM that are not interconnected by +a CTM to each other. On these systems a CTM index is declared to associate +CTI devices that are interconnected via a given CTM. + +Sysfs files and directories +--------------------------- + +The CTI devices appear on the existing CoreSight bus alongside the other +CoreSight devices:: + + >$ ls /sys/bus/coresight/devices + cti_cpu0 cti_cpu2 cti_sys0 etm0 etm2 funnel0 replicator0 tmc_etr0 + cti_cpu1 cti_cpu3 cti_sys1 etm1 etm3 funnel1 tmc_etf0 tpiu0 + +The ``cti_cpu<N>`` named CTIs are associated with a CPU, and any ETM used by +that core.
