Abstract
An integrated hardware and software debugging system debugs software running on a processor and debugs hardware blocks that perform operations separate from the processor. Cycle traces are recorded for hardware block operations and the data is presented to a user through the same interface used for software debugging. Where hardware blocks are implemented in configurable circuitry (such as an FPGA) from source code, hardware debugging is linked to the source code to simulate stepping through the source code.
