Abstract
Devices, methods and instruction sets are provided for performing operations with respect to analyzing firmware. A firmware event tracker includes a tracker event log in which events occurring during execution of firmware are recorded as event-items and stored in volatile. Flushing of event-items from volatile memory to non-volatile memory via a flush strategy and flush access path. In other aspects, the stored tracker event log, is used for performing failure analysis of the firmware.
