+          All Blackfins include a Trace Unit which stores a history of the last
+          16 changes in program flow taken by the program sequencer. The history
+          allows the user to recreate the program sequencer’s recent path. This
+          can be handy when an application dies - we print out the execution
+          path of how it got to the offending instruction.

+          The trace buffer can be configured to omit recording of changes in
+          program flow that match either the last entry or one of the last
+          two entries. Omitting one of these entries from the record prevents
+          the trace buffer from overflowing because of any sort of loop (for, do
+          while, etc) in the program.
+
+          Because zero-overhead Hardware loops are not recorded in the trace buffer,
+          this feature can be used to prevent trace overflow from loops that
+          are nested four deep.
