Abstract
A method and system for creating trace triggers from non-concurrent events, the system comprising: a trace trigger mechanism including: a plurality of multiplexers for breaking down a plurality of signals into a plurality of groups of signals; a pattern match mechanism for matching the plurality of signals to form a plurality of events, and a trace array trigger control block to perform one or more functions on the plurality of independently controlled events in order to create flexible trace trigger controls from non-concurrent events to control the starting and stopping of a data gathering function such as is used to capture trace data.
