Abstract
Navigating trace data. A traced program, or the operating system responsible for the traced program, writes index values to a particular hardware location, which index values become part of the trace data by operation of hardware devices in the target system. A debug-trace program (executed either in an attached host computer or as an embedded debugger) uses the index values to assist the user of the debug-trace program in navigating to particular portions of the trace data based on the index values.
