To configure the behavior of RealView Debugger when the trace buffer is full:
Select Edit → Buffer Full Mode from the menu.
Select the required option from the submenu:
This option causes the target processor to stop executing when the trace buffer becomes full.
This option stops the collection of trace information when the trace buffer becomes full. The target processor is not stopped.
If you want the processor to stop whenever the trace buffer becomes full, you must select the option Stop Processor on Buffer Full.
This option forces the collection of trace information to continue while the processor is running, even after the trace buffer becomes full. In this case, older information is cleared from the buffer as new information enters it.
This option is overridden if you have specified a trigger and the trigger is reached.
The ETM uses a circular buffer in the hardware. Therefore, Continue Collecting on Buffer Full is the only mode that is available.
