Decode the Summary Message with Trace Extension

The Summary column of the Message View may show message strings that are not decoded correctly. See an example below:

To decode the summary message properly, use a Trace Extension - an archive package with firmware trace dictionaries used to decode trace data into human-readable text.

Trace Extensions are available as part of the Intel(R) Best Known Configuration Package Manager. They can be found by searching for files ending in .traceext.

To import a Trace Extension:

1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click your Trace project and select Import twice:

   

2. Under System Trace node, select Trace Extension Package and click Next.

   

3. In the new dialog box, click Browse and navigate to the required .traceext file.

4. Click Finish.

5. The package is opened in the System Trace Extensions view.

6. To apply the extension, restart trace capturing or redecode imported trace files and check the Message View.
