11.3.11 TPIU_DEVTYPE
The Device Type Identifier Register is read-only. It provides a debugger with information about 
the component when the Part Number field is not recognized. The debugger can then report this 
information.
The TPIU_DEVTYPE characteristics are:
Purpose  Indicates the type of functionality the component supports.
Usage Constraints  There are no usage constraints.
Configurations  This register is available in all processor configurations.
Attributes  The Device Type reads as 0x11 and indicates this device is a trace sink and 
specifically a TPIU
Figure 11-12 shows the TPIU_DEVTYPE bit assignments.

[8:6] Minimum buffer size Specifies the minimum TPIU buffer size:
0b010
 = 4 bytes.
[5] Asynchronous 
TRACECLKIN
Specifies whether TRACECLKIN can be asynchronous to CLK:
0b1
 = TRACECLKIN can be asynchronous to CLK.
[4:0] Number of trace inputs Specifies the number of trace inputs:
0b000000
 = 1 input
0b000001
 = 2 inputs
If your implementation includes an ETM, the value of this field is 
0b00001
.
