1Runtime Instrumentation Testing - N1SDP
2=======================================
3
4For this test we used the N1 System Development Platform (`N1SDP`_), which
5contains an SoC consisting of two dual-core Arm N1 clusters.
6
7The following source trees were used:
8
9- `TF-A v2.13-rc0`_
10- `TFTF v2.13-rc0`_
11
12Please see the Runtime Instrumentation :ref:`Testing Methodology
13<Runtime Instrumentation Methodology>` page for more details. The tests were ran
14using the
15`tf-psci-lava-instr/n1sdp-runtime-instrumentation,n1sdp-runtime-instrumentation:n1sdp-fip.tftf-firmware`
16configuration in CI.
