NXP/ST Power Architecture: Trace trigger doesn't work – Analyzer remains in WAITING state

17-Sep-2024

Nexus Event Out Pin (EVTO) signal is used in winIDEA as a trace trigger, but it is not enabled.


Possible solution

To generate the trigger event (EVTO), enable it in the Trigger Configuration window:

1. Open View | Analyzer.

2. Click the Analyzer Configuration button.

3. Check the Manual Hardware Trigger box.

4. Click Configure.

5. Check the Enabled box.

6. Find Generate Trigger Event (EVTO) on section and check the Disable box.




Nexus pins on certain MPC57xx microcontrollers can have different functions. Use PINCR and DCI_CR register to specify which pin on the microcontroller is used for the EVTO0 signal. Refer to the microcontroller’s reference manual for more information on the Nexus pin assignment.
