摘要:
A method of tracing processor instructions includes characterizing processor state changes in accordance with simplified instruction state descriptors. The simplified instruction state descriptors are then traced with processor instructions, but processor data is not traced.
摘要:
A method of monitoring bus transactions between masters and slaves includes generating simplified bus transaction descriptors to characterize bus transactions. Simplified bus transaction descriptors are consolidated to form a bus transaction trace stream. The bus transaction trace stream is routed to a probe.

A system includes a processor to generate a free-running trace stream and a probe with a real-time decoder to dynamically detect a trigger included in the free-running trace stream.
