+@deffn Command {tpiu config} (@option{disable} | ((@option{external} | @option{internal @var{filename}}) @
+ (@option{sync @var{port_width}} | ((@option{manchester} | @option{uart}) @var{formatter_enable})) @
+ @var{TRACECLKIN_freq} [@var{trace_freq}]))
+
+ARMv7-M architecture provides several modules to generate debugging
+information internally (ITM, DWT and ETM). Their output is directed
+through TPIU to be captured externally either on an SWO pin (this
+configuration is called SWV) or on a synchronous parallel trace port.
+
+This command configures the TPIU module of the target and, if internal
+capture mode is selected, starts to capture trace output by using the
+debugger adapter features.
+
+Some targets require additional actions to be performed in the
+@b{trace-config} handler for trace port to be activated.
+
+Command options:
+@itemize @minus
+@item @option{disable} disable TPIU handling;
+@item @option{external} configure TPIU to let user capture trace
+output externally (with an additional UART or logic analyzer hardware);
+@item @option{internal @var{filename}} configure TPIU and debug adapter to
+gather trace data and append it to @var{filename} (which can be
+either a regular file or a named pipe);
+@item @option{sync @var{port_width}} use synchronous parallel trace output
+mode, and set port width to @var{port_width};
+@item @option{manchester} use asynchronous SWO mode with Manchester
+coding;
+@item @option{uart} use asynchronous SWO mode with NRZ (same as
+regular UART 8N1) coding;
+@item @var{formatter_enable} is @option{on} or @option{off} to enable
+or disable TPIU formatter which needs to be used when both ITM and ETM
+data is to be output via SWO;
+@item @var{TRACECLKIN_freq} this should be specified to match target's
+current TRACECLKIN frequency (usually the same as HCLK);
+@item @var{trace_freq} trace port frequency. Can be omitted in
+internal mode to let the adapter driver select the maximum supported
+rate automatically.

+ ...
+ ITM_STIM8(0) = c;
+ ...
+@end example
+(the most obvious way is to use the first stimulus port for printf,

+blocking to avoid data loss, add @code{while (!(ITM_STIM8(0) &
+ITM_STIM_FIFOREADY));});
