With "rtems trace format" I guess you mean the format used by the Event 
Recording. Could you please elaborate this a bit more what you mean with 
understanding. The format is very simple. It is just a timestamp, an 
event number and some event specific data.

Getting timestamps in CLOCK_MONOTONIC nanosecond values is a bit tricky, 
however, this is already handled by the client:

Did you already work on a TSDL description of the format?
