11.4.7. Embedded Cross Trigger System

The ECT system provides a mechanism for the components listed in "Features of the CoreSight Debug and Trace" to trigger each other. The ECT consists of the following modules:

  • Cross Trigger Interface (CTI)
  • Cross Trigger Matrix (CTM)
Figure 27. Generic ECT System
The following figure shows an example of how CTIs and CTMs are used in a generic ECT setup. Though the signal travels through channel 2, it only enters and exits through trigger inputs and outputs you configure.
Note: The red line depicts an trigger input to one CTI generating a trigger output in another CTI.
