An integrated circuit chip device comprises debugging circuitry to debug the system circuitry, the debugging circuitry being segmented into zones, wherein the debugging circuitry comprises an interconnect fabric configured to route debug messages through a zone from a zone entry node to a zone exit node. The debugging circuitry is configured to, on receiving a debug message at a zone entry node that is shorter than a specified length, modify the debug message by increasing the length of the debug message to the specified length. The message length may be determined from the message header or by counting the number of bytes in the message. A corruption marker may be added to a message that is shorter than expected. Increasing the length of the message to the specified length allows the message to be properly routed to its destination. |
