DSTREAM is a debug and trace hardware unit that enables powerful software debug and
optimization on any ARM processor-based hardware target. It enables you to connect a software
debugger to an ARM processor-based target using a hardware interface such as JTAG or Serial
Wire Debug (SWD). It also enables the collection of trace from the device for non-intrusive
debug and code optimization.
Note
Some debuggers are unable to capture trace from the external trace port of a System-on-Chip
(SoC) device. See the documentation that accompanies your debugger for details of the trace
capabilities of your debugger.
