Abstract
A system comprises built-in self-test (BIST) logic configured to perform a BIST, processing logic coupled to the BIST logic and storage logic coupled to the processing logic. The storage logic comprises debug context information associated with a debugging session. Prior to performance of the BIST, the processing logic stores the debug context information to a destination. After performance of the BIST, the processing logic is reset, and the processing logic restores the debug context information from the destination to the storage logic.
