Abstract
An integrated-circuit chip and method of operating said chip is provided. The integrated-circuit chip includes multiple processors, a system memory and a main system bus for carrying data between each of the processors and the system memory. The chip also has debug logic, a debug port for communicating with the debug logic from outside the chip and a debug connection that connects the debug logic to the main system bus. A power management system is also included for controlling the power supplied to each of a number of power domains on the chip. The debug logic and each of the processors are in different respective power domains. The debug logic is configured to send a debug instruction to any of the processors. The debug instruction is communicated over the debug connection and over the main system bus.
