Abstract

A trace circuitis configured to generate a stream of trace data elements indicative of processing operations performed by a processing circuit. The trace circuithas a plurality of reference address registers-configured to store corresponding reference addresses. When the processing circuitperforms a processing operation associated with an associated memory address, the trace circuitselects one of the reference address registers-as a selected reference address register, and generates a trace data element indicating: (i) which of the reference address registers-is the selected reference address register, and (ii) a difference, if any, between the associated memory address and the reference address of the selected reference address register. A diagnostic apparatusfor analyzing the trace stream has a similar set of reference address registers-which are used to reconstruct the associated memory address from the generated trace data element.
