+#!/usr/bin/env python
+# coding=utf-8
+#
+# This script decodes Xtensa CPU trace dumps. It allows tracing the program
+# execution at instruction level.
+#
+# Some trivia about the Xtensa CPU trace (TRAX):
+# TRAX format mostly follows the IEEE-ISTO 5001-2003 (Nexus) standard.
+# The following Nexus Program Trace messages are implemented by TRAX:
+# - Indirect Branch Message
+# - Syncronization Message
+# - Indirect Branch with Synchronization Message
+# - Correlation Message
+# TRAX outputs compressed traces with 2 MSEO bits (LSB) and 6 MDO bits (MSB),
+# packed into a byte. MSEO bits are used to split the stream into packets and messages,
+# and MDO bits carry the actual data of the messages. Each message may contain multiple packets.
+#
+# This script can be used standalone, or loaded into GDB.
+# When used standalone, it dumps the list of trace messages to stdout.
+# When used from GDB, it also invokes GDB command to dump the list of assembly
+# instructions corresponding to each of the messages.
+#
+# Standalone usage:
+#   traceparse.py <dump_file>
+#
+# Usage from GDB:
+#   xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb -n --batch program.elf -x gdbinit
+# with the following gdbinit script:
+#   set pagination off
+#   set confirm off
+#   add-symbol-file rom.elf <address of ROM .text section>
+#   source traceparse.py
+#   python parse_and_dump("/path/to/dump_file")
+#
+# Loading the ROM code is optional; if not loaded, disassembly for ROM sections of code
+# will be missing.

+Setting up Python 3 as default for CentOS
+-----------------------------------------

+CentOS 7 and older is providing Python 2.7 as the default interpreter.
+Python 3 is recommended instead and can be installed in old distributions as follows, or please consult the documentation of your operating system for other recommended ways to achieve this::

+Making Python 3 the default interpreter is possible by running::

+
+    apt remove python3-pip python3-virtualenv; rm -r ~/.local
