Trace Page (Preferences Dialog Box)

You open this page by clicking Preferences on the Window menu, expanding Run/Debug

in the left-hand pane, and then clicking Trace.

The Nios II Trace preferences page contains settings that affect how the Nios II IDE Trace

view collects and displays data. The settings apply to all projects.

The Trace preferences page contains the following settings.

Stop trace collection when the buffer is full—When on, trace data collection stops

if the on-chip trace buffer fills up before a breakpoint or watchpoint allows trace data

to be read from the buffer. When off, new trace data overwrites old trace data when

the buffer overflows. The default is off.

Include load addresses —When on, the data in the Trace view shows data

addresses associated with load instructions. The default is off.

Include store addresses —When on, the data in the Trace view shows data

addresses associated with store instructions. The default is off.

Include data values for loads and stores—When on, the data in the Trace view

shows the data values after load or store instructions. This setting is available only if

Include load addresses or Include store addresses are on. The default is off.
