Abstract
A method for real-time firmware configuration and a debugging apparatus are provided. When a demand for updating or debugging a target processor raises, in the method, a computer system generates a firmware debugging request that is attached with a firmware data with a specific debugging function. The computer system then loads the firmware data to a programmable logic unit of the debugging apparatus. After the real-time firmware configuration is completed, the computer system issues a debugging command to the programmable logic unit. The programmable logic unit obtains at least one debugging action after resolving the debugging command. The at least one debugging action is performed in the target processor when the target processor receives the at least one debugging action. A debugging result is returned after the at least one debugging action is completed.
