TOP       TRACE EXTENSION FOR NIOS-II

The PowerTrace or the RISC Trace samples all trace port lines up to a speed of 300 MHz into the trace buffer. The maximum size of the trace buffer is 64/128 MFrames (1 frame per clock).

The connection to the target is done by standardized adapters defined by manufacturer. The system can run on PCs or any workstation.
