6.8 Test Interfaces
The emulation and trace interfaces allow tracing activities of the following CPUs:
• ARM Cortex
TM
-A8 through an Embedded Trace Macro-cell (ETM11) dedicated to enable real-time
trace of the ARM subsystem operations.
All processors can be emulated via JTAG ports.

6.8.2 JTAG Interfaces
AM3517/05 JTAG TAP controller handles standard IEEE JTAG interfaces. The following sections define
the timing requirements for several tools used to test the AM3517/05 processors as:
• Free running clock tool, like XDS560 and XDS510 tools
• Adaptive clock tool, like RealView ICE tool and Lauterbach tool
