Instruction and Logic for a Convertible Innovation and Debug Engine

摘要

A processor includes an innovation engine, a non-volatile memory, a reserved device, one or more user-defined devices, and logic to execute the user-defined devices. The processor also includes a debug engine with logic to monitor the processor for trigger conditions and record data associated with the trigger conditions. The innovation further includes logic to selectively load the debug engine.
