With extended debugging, MicroBlaze provides program trace, storing information in the embedded trace buffer (ETB) to enable program execution tracing. Users can also toggle the Auto switch and select the External Trace check box, if desired.
Use the parameter C_DEBUG_TRACE_SIZE to configure the size of the embedded trace buffer from 8KB to 128KB, or the external trace buffer from 32B to 8 KB.
By setting C_DEBUG_TRACE_SIZE to 0 (None), program trace is
disabled.
Extended debugging also provides non-intrusive profiling, storing program execution statistics in a profiling buffer. The buffer is divided into a number of bins, each counting the number of executed instructions or clock cycles within a certain address range.
Use the parameter C_DEBUG_PROFILE_SIZE to configure the size of the profiling buffer from 4K to 128K. By setting the parameter to 0 (None), profiling is disabled.
