Abstract

The present invention provides a microcomputer with a built-in debugging function capable of compressing the output information by adopting an output signal with a bit width smaller than that of the command bus, creating an easy-to-analyze environment when tracing the contents of the command bus. In the debug function built-in microcomputer, the DBG (debugging unit) 3 outputs information 36 to be traced and status information 35 of information content to be traced from the status generation circuit 33 .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microcomputer with a built-in debugging function, in particular to a microcomputer with a built-in debugging function having an improved bus tracing method. Background technique [0002] From the perspective of the purpose of finding program errors and supporting correction operations, the debugging function refers to stopping the execution of the program when tracing the program, reaching the specified line, or accessing the preset address or data, and notifying the outside while referring to it. Change the state of the memory or the content of the variable at that time. [0003] A debugging device (debugging tool) having such a debugging function has conventionally been called a path emulator. Figure 8 A block diagram of a debug system using such a path simulator is shown. Figure 8 The debugging system is composed of a user target system 50 and a debugging tool 55 for debugging the user target system 50 . Further, the us...
