Hardware trace and introspection for productivity platform using a system-on-chip

Abstract:

An integrated circuit can include programmable circuitry configured to implement an overlay circuit specified by an overlay. The overlay circuit can include a trace buffer configured to receive a probed signal from circuitry within the overlay circuit. The trace buffer can be configured to generate trace data from the probed signal and store the trace data in a runtime allocated memory. The integrated circuit also can include a processor coupled to the programmable circuitry and configured to control operation of the trace buffer. The processor can be configured to read the trace data from the runtime allocated memory.
