Abstract
A method for monitoring the execution of a program by a processor of an electronic circuit comprises operations of collecting monitoring data within the circuit and of transmitting the monitoring data to a device for debugging the program. The monitoring data are transmitted via a connection external to the circuit, comprising at least one serial connection. The monitoring data are serialized within the circuit before being transmitted, then restored within the device for tuning the program.
