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.

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

A microcontroller device has a housing with a plurality of external pins a first microcontroller with a first central processing unit (CPU), a first system bus coupled with the first CPU, first memory coupled with the first system bus, and a first plurality of peripheral devices coupled with the first system bus, and a second microcontroller with a second central processing unit (CPU), a second system bus coupled with the second CPU, second memory coupled with the second system bus, and a second plurality of peripheral devices coupled with the second system bus, wherein first and second microcontroller communicate only via a dedicated interface.
