+=================================================================
+The trace performance monitoring and diagnostics aggregator(TPDA)
+=================================================================

+
+Hardware Description
+--------------------
+
+TPDA - The trace performance monitoring and diagnostics aggregator or
+TPDA in short serves as an arbitration and packetization engine for the
+performance monitoring and diagnostics network specification.
+The primary use case of the TPDA is to provide packetization, funneling
+and timestamping of Monitor data.
+
+
+Sysfs files and directories
+---------------------------
+Root: ``/sys/bus/coresight/devices/tpda<N>``
+
+Config details
+---------------------------
+
+The tpdm and tpda nodes should be observed at the coresight path
+"/sys/bus/coresight/devices".
+e.g.
+/sys/bus/coresight/devices # ls -l | grep tpd
+tpda0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/6004000.tpda/tpda0
+tpdm0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/6c08000.mm.tpdm/tpdm0
+
+We can use the commands are similar to the below to validate TPDMs.
+Enable coresight sink first. The port of tpda which is connected to
+the tpdm will be enabled after commands below.
+
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etf0/enable_sink
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tpdm0/enable_source
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tpdm0/integration_test
+echo 2 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tpdm0/integration_test
+
+The test data will be collected in the coresight sink which is enabled.
+If rwp register of the sink is keeping updating when do
+integration_test (by cat tmc_etf0/mgmt/rwp), it means there is data
+generated from TPDM to sink.
+
+There must be a tpda between tpdm and the sink. When there are some
+other trace event hw components in the same HW block with tpdm, tpdm
+and these hw components will connect to the coresight funnel. When
+there is only tpdm trace hw in the HW block, tpdm will connect to
+tpda directly.
