It isn't for me as trace buffer is only used for printf like traces. If we read past the first \0 we will display some noise and depending on trace buffer size make trace buffer unreadable on console thanks to a basic 'cat'. But I recognize binary trace format need. I would suggest to add a parameter in trace resource to specify the type of trace: text or binary and adapt function behavior according to this.

Thanks for this clear clarification. Indeed you pointed the main point (issue), buffer should be first zero initialized. But as coprocessor should write an initial trace at startup, before user space can access trace buffer, it should be ok. > Actually, we use trace buffer in two case: > 1.A circle buffer to save the log doesn't output yet like yours > 2.Record the RTOS schedule event much like ftrace which is in binary format > Here is our usage in the first case: > 1.Zero out the circle buffer during initializition > 2.But check if the whole buffer just contain ASCII or zero > a.If so, this is the last time panic/watchdog log > b.Resend this log to UART/kernel in the second boot > 3.And we will zero the segment once we send the log from buffer to > UART/kernel > With this, we can cat the trace node to see the last log if the remote > core hang suddenly. > And see the log in the kernel log after the remote or system reboot. > The attached diagram show the workflow in more detail. Today one main issue of this trace buffer is circular management which is not supported. As soon as traces are looping, we are losing part of log. I saw on your diagram rpmsg-syslog service to manage trace buffer.
