Trace buffers are commonly used to capture data during in-system silicon debug. This paper exploits the fact that it is not necessary to capture error-free data in the trace buffe...
In current microprocessors and systems, an increasingly high silicon portion is derived through automatic synthesis, with designers working exclusively at the RT-level, and design...
