The DCC is a DMA engine designed to store register values either in
case of a system crash or in case of software triggers manually done
by the user.Using DCC hardware and the sysfs interface of the driver
the user can exploit various functionalities of DCC.The user can specify
the register addresses,the values of which is stored by DCC in it's
dedicated SRAM.The register addresses can be used either to read from,
write to,first read and store value and then write or to loop.All these
options can be exploited using the sysfs interface given to the user.
Following are the sysfs interfaces exposed in DCC driver which are
documented
1)trigger
2)config
3)config_write
4)config_reset
5)enable
6)rd_mod_wr
7)loop

Please combine this with the driver patch.

Perhaps this should be an ioctl interface instead of a sysfs interface?

The reasons for choosing sysfs over ioctl is as follows


i) As can be seen from the sysfs attribute descriptions, most of it does 
basic hardware manipulations like dcc_enable, dcc_disable, config reset 
etc. As a result sysfs is preferred over ioctl as we just need to enter 
a 0 or 1
signal in such cases.

ii) Existing similar debug hardwares are there for which drivers have 
been written using sysfs interface. One such example is the 
coresight-etm-trace driver. Following is the link for reference

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/trace/coresight/coresight-etm4x-reference.html
