| Runtime Instrumentation Testing - N1SDP |
| ======================================= |
| |
| For this test we used the N1 System Development Platform (`N1SDP`_), which |
| contains an SoC consisting of two dual-core Arm N1 clusters. |
| |
| The following source trees were used: |
| |
| - `TF-A v2.13-rc0`_ |
| - `TFTF v2.13-rc0`_ |
| |
| Please see the Runtime Instrumentation :ref:`Testing Methodology |
| <Runtime Instrumentation Methodology>` page for more details. The tests were ran |
| using the |
| `tf-psci-lava-instr/n1sdp-runtime-instrumentation,n1sdp-runtime-instrumentation:n1sdp-fip.tftf-firmware` |
| configuration in CI. |
