System and method for generating cross-core breakpoints in a multi-core microcontroller

In a debugging method for an integrated circuit device which has multiple processing cores, a debugging breakpoint is activated at a first processor core in the integrated circuit device. Upon activation, the debugging breakpoint stops execution of instructions in the first processor core and the de...

Zusammenfassung:In a debugging method for an integrated circuit device which has multiple processing cores, a debugging breakpoint is activated at a first processor core in the integrated circuit device. Upon activation, the debugging breakpoint stops execution of instructions in the first processor core and the debugging breakpoint is communicated to a second processor core in the integrated circuit device.
