Abstract:
1. A method of exporting emulation information from a data processor integrated circuit, comprising: collecting internal emulation information from a data processor; arranging the collected emulation information into a plurality of first information blocks organized in a sequence, each of said first information blocks having a first fixed size, wherein each of a plurality of consecutive ones of said first information blocks contains a constituent bit of a multi-bit signal used by the data processor; receiving the plurality of first information blocks and arranging the emulation information contained therein into a plurality of second information blocks organized in a sequence, each of said second information blocks having a second fixed size which differs from the first fixed size of the first information blocks, wherein each of a plurality of consecutive ones of said second information blocks contains a constituent bit of said multi-bit signal; and driving from the data processor integrated circuit to a host external to the data processor integrated circuit electrical signals that correspond to said sequence of second information blocks.
