+is supported only for @option{arm7_9} and @option{cortex_m3} cores.
+These messages are received as part of target polling, so
+you need to have @command{poll on} active to receive them.
+They are intrusive in that they will affect program execution
+times. If that is a problem, @pxref{ARM Hardware Tracing}.
+
+See @file{libdcc} in the contrib dir for more details.
+In addition to sending strings, characters, and
+arrays of various size integers from the target,
+@file{libdcc} also exports a software trace point mechanism.
+The target being debugged may
+issue trace messages which include a 24-bit @dfn{trace point} number.
+Trace point support includes two distinct mechanisms,
+each supported by a command:
+
+@itemize
+@item @emph{History} ... A circular buffer of trace points
+can be set up, and then displayed at any time.
+This tracks where code has been, which can be invaluable in
+finding out how some fault was triggered.
+
+The buffer may overflow, since it collects records continuously.
+It may be useful to use some of the 24 bits to represent a
+particular event, and other bits to hold data.
+
+@item @emph{Counting} ... An array of counters can be set up,
+and then displayed at any time.
+This can help establish code coverage and identify hot spots.
+
+The array of counters is directly indexed by the trace point
+number, so trace points with higher numbers are not counted.
+@end itemize
-See libdcc in the contrib dir for more details.
Linux-ARM kernels have a ``Kernel low-level debugging
via EmbeddedICE DCC channel'' option (CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC,
depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_LL) which uses this mechanism to
deliver messages before a serial console can be activated.
+This is not the same format used by @file{libdcc}.
+Other software, such as the U-Boot boot loader, sometimes
+does the same thing.
@deffn Command {target_request debugmsgs} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}|@option{charmsg}]
Displays current handling of target DCC message requests.
These messages may be sent to the debugger while the target is running.
The optional @option{enable} and @option{charmsg} parameters
both enable the messages, while @option{disable} disables them.
+
With @option{charmsg} the DCC words each contain one character,
as used by Linux with CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC;
otherwise the libdcc format is used.
@end deffn
+@deffn Command {trace history} (@option{clear}|count)
+With no parameter, displays all the trace points that have triggered
+in the order they triggered.
+With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace history records.
+With a @var{count} parameter, allocates space for that many
+history records.
+@end deffn

+@deffn Command {trace point} (@option{clear}|identifier)

+they have been triggered.
+With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace point counters.
+With a numeric @var{identifier} parameter, creates a new a trace point counter
+and associates it with that identifier.
+
+@emph{Important:} The identifier and the trace point number
+are not related except by this command.
