I don't know much about the hardware trace capabilities, but I have understood that it's effectively a trace log of what happened.
Wouldn't it be neat(even useful??) if it was possible to step through the last N instructions? Here is what I have in mind: - Issue a "monitor trace 100" => we want to step through the last 100 instructions. - You can now issue stepi to step through each of the last 100 instructions. A more esoteric idea would be to enable simulation to allow single stepping into the future without actually modifying the state of the machine. I can't remember the last time I needed something like that, though I wouldn't as the tool wasn't in my toolbox...
