Abstract
A data processing system is provided comprising at least one processing unit (PU) for data processing and a debugger means (DM) for debugging the processing of the at least one processing unit (PU) based on a plurality of breakpoints. The debugger means (DM) comprises a first register (BAR) for storing a base address for one of the plurality of breakpoints, wherein the debugging means (DM) initiates the debugging of the processing of the at least one processing units (PU) based on the base address stored in the first breakpoint register, i.e. the base address register. A second breakpoint register (OR) is provided for storing an offset for obtaining subsequent breakpoints. A logic arithmetic unit (LAU) is provided for repetitively calculating a breakpoint condition based on the base address stored in the first breakpoint register and the offset stored in the second breakpoint register and for updating the base address stored in the first breakpoint register.
