1.1 Trace32/Lauterbach

Trace32/Lauterbach is a powerful tool when it comes to Arm®-based SoCs.

Trace32 can also be used to flash various memory types. JTAG interface needs to be pinned out on the board to use this approach. This enables customers who have Trace32 to flash boot images to eMMC and SPI memories.

Process of flashing involves CMM scripting that Lauterbach comprehends and a one time installation on Linux PC to connect to the TDA4. Using Trace32/Lauterbach to flash avoids dependency on a secondary boot media like UART/SD to burn images to the flash parts on the custom board.
