Abstract
A system comprising a target hardware comprising multiple processor cores and an application. The system also comprises a host computer coupled to the target hardware by way of a connection and adapted to debug the application by receiving trace information via the connection. In determining which trace information to send via the connection, the target hardware gives priority to trace information generated by a primary processor core associated with a token over trace information generated by a secondary processor core not associated with the token. The token is associated with one of the multiple processor cores at a time.
