Abstract
A microprocessor 10 has a processor core 20 and a debug module 30. The processor core 20 executes a user program and a monitor program for debugging a user target system 70. The debug module 30 serves as an interface with a debug tool 60, to let the processor core 20 execute the monitor program stored in the debug tool 60. The debug module 30 makes an interrupt or exception request to switch the processor core 20 from the user program to the monitor program.
