Trace Features

The Trace block implements a message-based protocol between a Trace Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the Trace block via JTAG. The Trace block provides the following features:

• Instruction trace per processor core
• Full AXI (64) trace of a selectable single slave interface on the AXI Switch
• AXI transaction (no-data) trace of AXI (128) bus between L2 cache to DDR
• Status monitoring of up to 40 fabric signals

The Trace block collects the trace data and sends it to a Trace IDE running on a Host PC. The trace data can be used to identify performance and fault points during program execution.
