Abstract

See full text

A system provides debugging functions for high-speed processors by adding a comparatively small amount of hardware to the microprocessor. A debugging module which receives part of the debugging function is placed in a microprocessor and is connected with a debugging tool outside the processor. In the debugging module, a processor core in the processor accesses and executes a monitor program in the debugging tool 60 through the debugging module. In the normal mode, while the processor executes a user program, the debugging module receives trace information and sends it to the debugging tool and also performs tasks related to the breakpoints.
