CoreSight SoC-400

Getting Started

The SoC-400 library offers configurable components to meet the exact requirements of your system, from small to multiprocessor Cortex-A class designs. With over 20 years of development behind it, CoreSight SoC-400 is the standard for Arm-based SoC designs and enjoys broad support from the tooling ecosystem.

Safeguard against costly delays.

The industry standard for debug and trace IP.

Comprehensive library of configurable on-chip debug and trace components.

Better trace for better software with Arm CoreSight

This white paper explores the limitations of existing software debug and trace technologies, and explains how the Arm CoreSight System Trace Macrocell (STM) and Trace Memory Controller (TMC) enable system level visibility to more developers. This reduces latency and increases throughput, at the same time as applying existing open source trace infrastructures.
