Abstract
An apparatus with flexible debug observation-points (DOPs) includes a pipeline that includes multiple stages. A number of DOPs is embedded in the stages, and a DOP memory is provided at an end of the pipeline. The DOP memory is configured to store data associated with each DOP. Each DOP includes a flop-based storage and is identifiable by a unique DOP-identification (ID) associated with that DOP. The DOPs allow shifting data through the DOPs to the DOP memory.
