Abstract
An embodiment of the invention is a method for capturing hardware trace data. A wrap-back address space is defined and during compression mode, trace data is circularly stored in the wrap-back address space. Upon exiting compression mode, a write address is established for further trace data such that trace data prior to existing compression mode is maintained.
