The present disclosure generally relates to improved event filtering, debugging, and flow communication through a flow identifier. Rather than sending messages or events with no identity or with local identity (that is identity that has meaning only to a few modules, and not to all the modules), this disclosure suggests adding a flow identifier to each message or event. The flow identifier is at least two bits added to each message to be later identified when needed. A first message is sent to a HW or FW module. At either the HW or FW module an event will be generated. When the event is generated the flow identifier will be added to the event. The HW or FW module will then send the generated events along with the flow identifier to the TBRAM. Once received, the TBRAM will send the events along with the flow identifier to a PC.
