Abstract
The invention relates to a compressed data managing system and method for circular buffer. By using the system and method of the invention, when storing the compressed data in a circular buffer and an event occurs, the hardware compression mechanism can stop immediately, without jeopardizing the decompression of the compressed data. Therefore, the system and method of the invention can overcome the following conventional problem: Conventional real-time tracers need several cycles to write the compressed data into the trace memory, which is unbeneficial to error diagnosis. Since when an error occurs, the system might enter the unstable state, this could cause that the tracers fail to write the last compressed data into the trace memory.
