# NIAnalyzer
## Programmable NIA analyzer and debugger
Receives debug bus (NIA, val, advancing, count, tag bits) and counts various events:
* compare NIA vs all block specs (start/end) to match one or more blocks, or none (also counted)
* count 'advancing' (count is for multiple completions)
* could count 'valid and not advancing' cycles (latency); may only make sense for single ops
* tag bits could specify b/alu/rot/ld/st/spec/etc. or other info (icmiss, dcmiss, stall, byps, ...)
* could also be able to generate signal(s) based on events (stall/interrupt core when full), event seen, etc.
* gen-configurable
* nia width, number of buckets, ...
* local bram size
* csr-configurable
* buckets def
* ctls (start/stop/rst/...)
* wb interface to connect to uart/eth/mem
