Abstract
In an embodiment, a peripheral component may include multiple sources of commands, such as command queues and/or macro memories. The commands may be performed in the peripheral component and may result in an error. The peripheral component may include a trace queue into which the commands may be written, independent of the source of the commands. Thus, the trace queue may provide a record of recently performed commands.
