If you intend to produce CTF traces natively from the target, you will want to
look into the barectf project [1].

However, if your goal is to do a post-processing phase to convert traces from
some existing format to CTF, you will want to look into the Babeltrace project [2]
master branch which is in preparation for Babeltrace 2.0. The approach here
would be to create a Babeltrace 2 source plugin which reads your trace format into
the Babeltrace 2 intermediate representation by using the APIs exposed to
plugins by Babeltrace 2. Babeltrace 2 has a generic CTF sink which can serialize
the resulting trace intermediate representation into CTF.

Thanks,

Mathieu
