    Abstract: Extracting transaction level information from an interface can include tracking transactions of an interface within an integrated circuit (IC) using a plurality of counters within the IC, wherein the counters generate counter data corresponding to the transactions. The method can include capturing signals of the interface as trace data for a trace window using an integrated logic analyzer within the IC, wherein a start of the trace window begins after a start of the tracking of the transactions using the plurality of counters. The method can also include using a host data processing system coupled to the IC, determining transaction level information for the interface using the counter data and the trace data for the trace window.

    Abstract: Approaches for capturing states of signals of a circuit-under-test are disclosed. A logic analyzer circuit is coupled to the circuit-under-test and is configured to receive a plurality of probe signals and a plurality of trigger signals from the circuit-under-test. The logic analyzer circuit inputs data identifying a subset of the probe signals and a subset of the trigger signals. The logic analyzer circuit selects the subset of trigger signals for input to trigger logic and selects the subset of probe signals in the logic analyzer circuit after the logic analyzer circuit and the circuit-under-test are active. The logic analyzer circuit samples states of the subset of probe signals in response to the trigger logic and stores the sampled states of the subset of probe signals in a memory.
