Informative E-Trace Spec file name

[markuslauterbach]

Hi,

the current PDF file name of the E-Trace Spec is "riscv-trace-spec.pdf". The problem with this name is that:

• This name is not distinguishable from N-Trace.
• This name is not aligned with the file names of the other trace specs.

My suggestion would be to rename it to "RISC-V-E-Trace.pdf" (to align it with RISC-V-N-Trace.pdf, RISC-V-Trace-Connectors.pdf, RISC-V-Trace-Control-Interface.pdf).

I vaguely remember that in the past there was the argument that there are fixed links in other places that link to riscv-trace-spec.pdf, and that this can not easily be changed. But where are these links?

On the GitHub page https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-trace-spec I can not find any "riscv-trace-spec.pdf" (any more?) that could be linked to.
Also, https://wiki.riscv.org/display/HOME/RISC-V+Technical+Specifications uses a Google drive link, which probably changes each time that we upload a new file version (or does it not?).

Thanks,
Markus

I'd prefer if we keep the name riscv-trace-spec, but incorporate all of the trace specs within it. That way there is one comprehensive non-ISA spec that includes all components of RISC-V trace, including chapters on the interface, connectors, and each trace format, but without all the duplication (e.g., itype definitions) that is currently required in the separate specs.
