Abstract
A processor determines a timestamp for a signal based on a number of consecutive cycles that the signal is present on a trace bus. The processor writes a first part of the timestamp to a memory that is allocated for a timestamp of a trace entry. The processor overwrites one or more identified free bits with a second part of the timestamp of the trace entry.
