Abstract
An integrated circuit debugger incorporated into an integrated circuit, allowing direct access to internal points within the integrated circuit. By having direct access to internal points within the integrated circuit, the debugger is capable of faster and more accurate debugging. The debugger is able to directly access internal points of the integrated circuit which were previously inaccessible or only accessible indirectly for debugging, such as memory addresses, memory data, read/write strobes, and internal chip states. In addition, by accessing internal points of the integrated circuits directly, debugging instructions can be performed in real-time with minimal interruption to the operation of the integrated circuit.
