Abstract
Various approaches for profiling a target system are described. In one approach, a uni-directional, point-to-point bus has a single input port and a single output port. A target processor has a trace port coupled to the input port of the bus and is configured to execute a plurality of instructions one or more times. The target processor provides state data at the trace port and to the input port of the bus. A profile circuit arrangement is coupled to the output port of the first bus, and a memory is coupled to the profile circuit arrangement. The profile circuit arrangement is configured to read data from the output port of the first bus and write the data to the memory.
