Hi Yuanfang, Recently I just acrossed this part, so some comments.

And for MMIO case: "When the memory is marked as Device-nGnRE or stronger. ... - Poll TRCSTATR to ensure the previous write has completed. — Execute an ISB operation." Thus we need to add an ISB after polling. isb(); For consistent behaviour, a relevant thing is the dsb(sy) in etm4_enable_hw(). I do not think the dsb(sy) is necessary, as the driver uses the sequence "write TRCPRGCTLR + polling TRCSTATR" to ensure the data has been populated to trace unit, the polling operations somehow act as a read back. And the ETM manual does not mention the requirement for DSB when enabling trace unit. Thus, we should remove dsb(sy) (maybe use a separte patch). Mike / Suzuki / James, please confirm if my conclusions are valid. Thanks, Leo
