Offloading trace data from an integrated circuit (IC) can include receiving, by a high-speed debug port (HSDP) trace circuit, streams of trace data from a plurality of compute circuits of different compute circuit types. The compute circuits and the HSDP trace circuit are disposed in a same IC. Compute circuit type identifiers are included within the trace data. The compute circuit type identifiers specify the compute circuit type from which respective ones of the streams of the trace data originate. Debug trace packets (DTPs) are generated from the trace data and transmitted over a high-speed communication link to a trace data storage device (TDSD) external to the IC. Within the TDSD, trace data from the DTPs are stored in a memory of the TDSD.

Tracing status of a programmable device can include, in response to loading a device image for the programmable device, determining, using a processing unit on the programmable device, trace data for the device image, storing, by the processing unit, the trace data for the device image in a memory, and, in response to unloading the device image, recording the unloading of the device image in the trace data in the memory.
