Abstract

A target apparatusfor debug includes a processing pipelinefor executing a sequence of program instructions. A debug interfacereceives debug command signals corresponding directly or indirectly to debug program instructions to be executed. An instruction bufferstores both the debug program instructions and non-debug program instructions. An arbiterselects between both the debug program instructions and the non-debug program instructions stored within the instruction buffer to form the sequence of program instructions to be executed by the processing pipeline. A complex coherent memory systemis shared by the debug program instructions and the non-debug program instructions such that they obtain the same coherent view of memory.
