Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a processing system comprising a plurality of data processors at an integrated circuit die, each data processor has a local debug module. In response to acquiring data trace information based upon a corresponding local filtering criteria, the local debug modules transmit their data trace information to a global resource from each of the local debug modules for further filtering by a common filtering criteria.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: storing filtering information, including a filter address range, at a storage location; receiving a plurality of trace information from a plurality of debug modules of a processing system that has a processing system address range, each debug module providing trace information for a different data processor based upon a filtering criteria that is local to that debug module; and applying a common filtering criteria to each trace infor…
