TRACE

The TRACE program is used to aid debugging R1000 microcode and hardware
problems.  It displays the contents of the R1000s trace rams which provide
microcode execution history for the last 1024 clocks on a series 100 or
2048 clocks on a series 200 R1000 processor.  The trace program can display
data either from a CRASHDUMP which has been re-loaded into an R1000 or
from a crashed machine.  To invoke the trace program for CRASHDUMP data
type:

    CLI> x trace

To invoke the trace program for a live machine you must have previously
stopped the machine using the experiment monitor.  Then from EXPMON type:

    EM> trace

In either case the trace program will load microcode execution history
from the appropriate place into its memory buffer and display it on the
console.  The program is screen oriented and provides interactive help
if you type a "?".«nul»
