Abstract
In one embodiment, an SOC includes multiple components including a CPU complex and one or more non-CPU components such as peripheral interface controllers, memory controllers, media components, etc. The SOC also includes an SOC debug control unit, which is coupled to receive detected debug events from the components. Each component may include a local debug control unit that is configured to monitor for various debug events within that component. The debug events may be specific to the component. The local debug control units may transmit detected events to the SOC debug control unit. The SOC debug control unit may detect one or more events from one or more components, and may halt the components of the SOC responsive to detecting the selected events.
