8.19.2 Trace
The TCI6487/8 device supports Trace. Trace is a debug technology that provides a detailed, historical
account of application code execution, timing, and data accesses. Trace collects, compresses, and
exports debug information for analysis. Trace works in real-time and does not impact the execution of the
system.
For more information on board design guidelines for Trace Advanced Emulation, see the 60-Pin Emulation
Header Technical Reference (literature number SPRU655).
