Methods and apparatus for protecting trace data of a remote debug session for a computing system. In one embodiment, a method includes storing trace data received from one or more trace interfaces to a storage location of a target device, where the trace data is generated from execution at the target device, and where the trace data is protected from an unauthorized access. The method continues with transmitting the trace data to a debug host computer with encryption through a communication channel between the target device and the debug host computer.

Method and apparatus for protecting trace data of a remote debug session

A processing device comprises a debug port controller to monitor operations of the processing device to determine whether the processing device is operating in a first mode or a second mode and to collect trace information comprising operating characteristics of the processing device. The processing device further comprises a display engine logic to process display data for output to a display device. In addition, the processing device comprises a display engine interface to provide, to a plurality of existing platform connectors, the display data from the display engine logic when the processing device is operating in the first primary mode and the trace information from the debug port controller when the processing device is operating in the second mode as determined by the debug port controller.

High-speed debug port using standard platform connectivity

A computer system includes a bus. A first connector is coupled to the bus. A power lock-out unit is coupled to the first connector. The power lock-out unit prevents a system power supply from receiving a power-on request when a first module is not coupled to the fiist connector.
