Trace Buffer Organization
The buffer can be used to trace either from S12XCPU, from XGATE or from both sources. An X prefix
denotes information from the XGATE module, a C prefix denotes information from the S12XCPU.
ADRH, ADRM, ADRL denote address high, middle and low byte respectively. INF bytes contain control
information (R/W, S/D etc.). The numerical suffix indicates which tracing step. The information format
for Loop1 Mode is the same as that of Normal Mode. Whilst tracing from XGATE or S12XCPU only, in
Normal or Loop1 modes each array line contains data from entries made at two separate times, thus in this
case the DBGCNT[0] is incremented after each separate entry. In all other modes DBGCNT[0] remains
cleared whilst the other DBGCNT bits are incremented on each trace buffer entry.
XGATE and S12XCPU COFs occur independently of each other and the profile of COFs for the two
sources is totally different. When both sources are being traced in Normal or Loop1 mode, for each COF
from one source, there may be many COFs from the other source, depending on user code. COF events
couldoccurfarfromeachotherinthetimedomain,onconsecutivecyclesorsimultaneously.WhenaCOF
occursineithersource(S12XorXGATE)atracebufferentryismadeandthecorrespondingCDVorXDV
bit is set. The current PC of the other source is simultaneously stored to the trace buffer even if no COF
has occurred, in which case CDV/XDV remains cleared indicating the address is not associated with a
COF, but is simply a snapshot of the PC contents at the time of the COF from the other source.
Single byte data accesses in Detail Mode are always stored to the low byte of the trace buffer (CDATAL
or XDATAL) and the high byte is cleared. When tracing word accesses, the byte at the lower address is
always stored to trace buffer byte3 and the byte at the higher address is stored to byte2
