Abstract
A system and method for using a processor thread as a debugger is presented. A computer system boots up and initiates a debugger thread. The debugger thread loads a robust, debugger operating system and executes the debugger operating system. Once the debugger thread is functioning, the debugger thread invokes an operational thread. In turn, the operational thread loads a primary operating system and may run various applications. While the operational thread executes the primary operating system and the applications, the debugger thread monitors the operational thread for proper functionality. When the operational thread crashes or terminates, the debugger thread retrieves operational data from the operational thread and provides the operational data to a software developer for analysis.
