The only +activity that the driver will perform in this mode is collecting +software traces to the Software Trace Hub (an stm class device). The +user is still responsible for setting up adequate master/channel +mappings that the decoder on the receiving end would recognize. + +In order to enable the host mode, set the 'host_mode' parameter of the +'intel_th' kernel module to 'y'. None of the virtual output devices +will show up on the intel_th bus. Also, trace configuration and +capture controlling attribute groups of the 'gth' device will not be +exposed. The 'sth' device will operate as usual. |
