Hardware/software debugging using memory access parameters

摘要

Debug circuitry is operated in a manner that facilitates debugging one or more hardware and/or software components that are included in a system that includes a system memory. The debug circuitry receives information from one of the hardware and/or software components and/or from the system memory, and ascertains whether the received information includes memory address parameters. If the received information includes memory address parameters, then the memory address parameters are used to retrieve data from the system memory. The retrieved data is supplied at an output port of the debug circuitry.
