  CEDARtools.TraceEncoder (CTTE, formerly C-Trace) is an open-source
  SystemVerilog trace encoder for RISC-V cores. It ingests a core's
  instruction-trace port (TIP) and compresses the execution stream either
  into N-Trace messages per the IEEE-ISTO 5001-2012 (Nexus) standard or
  into E-Trace te_inst packets, emitting them on an ATB or AXI-Stream
  output. The IP is dual-licensed under CERN-OHL-S-2.0 or an Accemic
  commercial license.
