Abstract
A program processing device that improves efficiency when debugging software. The processing device includes a CPU core and a monitor circuit, which is connected to an internal bus that is used by the CPU core to access a memory area. The monitor circuit monitors the internal bus and checks whether a designated variable in the program has been rewritten. When the designated variable has been rewritten, the monitor circuit stores the updated data and transmits variable information stored in an internal register to a debugging tool in a predetermined transmission cycle.
