Abstract
A method of tracing transactions on an integrated circuit chip. The method comprises, for each transaction: extracting the transaction from interconnect circuitry of the integrated circuit chip, the transaction comprising an address signal and a data signal; applying a filtering condition to the address signal; only if the address signal does not fail the filtering condition, storing the address signal in an address trace buffer; storing the data signal in a data trace buffer; applying a triggering condition to the stored transaction; and outputting the stored transaction if the stored transaction matches the triggering condition.
