The invention relates to a method and apparatus for formatting and preselecting trace data, and includes a trace message generator, an address checker, and a memory connected to the trace message generator and address checker. The trace message generator is configured to receive an address and associated data and generate a trace message with the associated data for the received address. The address checker is configured to receive the address, check the received address with the aid of the memory, and generate an output signal that indicates whether or not the trace message generated for the address is intended to be stored. The memory is configured to receive the trace message generated by the trace message generator, receive the output signal generated by the address checker, and store the received trace message if the output signal indicates that the trace message is intended to be stored. |
