Abstract
A data processing system is provided with breakpoint circuitry having breakpoint registers which can specify a variety of different types of breakpoint conditions. These breakpoint conditions include register access breakpoints which are triggered when an access is made to either a general purpose register or a configuration register. The breakpoints can also include input/output port access breakpoints which are triggered when an access is made to a predetermined one of a plurality of input/output ports by an appropriate program instruction or in another way.
