Trace Port Interface Unit

When one of the two SWO modes is selected, bit [1] of TPIU_FFCR enables the formatter to
be bypassed. If the formatter is bypassed, only the ITM and DWT trace source passes through.
The TPIU accepts and discards data from the ETM. This function is can be used to connect a
device containing an ETM to a trace capture device that is only able to capture SWO data.
Enabling or disabling the formatter causes momentary data corruption.
Note
If TPIU_SPPR is set to select Parallel Port Mode, the formatter is automatically enabled. If you
then select one of the SWO modes, TPIU_FFCR reverts to its previously programmed value.
