Abstract
A circuit for software tracing in a system on chip is described as including a plurality of components, each component having at least one local processor connected to a first communication bus; and each component being connected to a second communication bus. The circuit may further include a separate trace data bus being configured to transmit trace data generated by code running on the components. A method associated with software tracing on such a circuit is also disclosed.
