Abstract
Generally, the present disclosure concerns systems and methods for shadowing status for a circuit with a shadow unit. In one aspect, a system comprises a first circuit in a first dynamic clock domain of a plurality of dynamic clock domains, a processor configured to execute software instructions to generate a request for a status of the first circuit, and a second circuit coupled to the first circuit and to the processor. The second circuit, outside the first dynamic clock domain, is configured to shadow a status of the first circuit and to respond to the request for the status of the first circuit with the shadowed status.
