摘要： A performance monitor system includes a core processor (115), a core processor associated device, such as a cache (123), and first logic, such as performance logic (127). The core processor (115) is operable to execute information. The core processor associated device provides a first signal (CACHE_PERF), which defines performance of the core processor associated device (123) during operation of the core processor (115). The first logic (127) is coupled to the core processor associated device (123) and monitors the first signal (CACHE_PERF) in response to a second signal (WPT0,1), which defines a match of user-settable attributes associated with the operation of the core processor (115).

摘要： A method uses an integrated circuit having a debug status register. The integrated circuit is for being debugged by a hardware debugger external to the integrated circuit and has a processing unit for executing debug software. The debug status register is coupled to the processing unit and is for being coupled to the hardware debugger. The method includes updating the debug status register with hardware status flags arising from running the hardware debugger and software status flags arising from running the debug software. The method further includes masking locations in the debug status register where the hardware status flags are located from being read by the debug software while allowing the hardware status flags and the software status flags to be read by the hardware debugger. This is particularly useful in using the hardware debugger in debugging the debug software.

摘要： A bus master may selectively retract a currently pending access based on one or more characteristics of the currently pending access. In this manner, bus master may better control its access requests. The one or more characteristics may include, for example, type of access (e.g. read/write, instruction/data, burst/non-burst, etc.), sequence or order of accesses, address being accessed (e.g. which address range is being accessed or which device is being accessed), the bus master requesting retraction (in an, e.g., multimaster system), or any combination thereof. A bus arbiter may also selectively retract currently pending access requests in favor of a subsequent access request based on one or more characteristics of the currently pending access request or the subsequent access request. These characteristics may include any of those listed above, priorities of the requesting masters (e.g. a priority delta between requesting masters), other attributes of the requesting masters, or any combination thereof.

摘要： A plurality of test points are located at predetermined circuit nodes in a processing system. Test code which includes a set of software-controllable interrupts is executed using a multiple input shift register (MISR) to generate a MISR signature. One or more selected software-controllable interrupt types are determined. During execution of the test code, the MISR is used to also accumulate data values from the plurality of test points during exception processing of one or more of the software-controllable interrupts within the set of software-controllable interrupts which are of the one or more selected software-controllable interrupt types to generate the MISR signature. A test control register has a plurality of fields, each for selecting or not selecting a corresponding software-controllable interrupt type.

摘要： For some data processing systems, it is important to be able to handle overlapping debug events generated by a shared set of debug resources which are trying to cause both exception processing and debug mode entry. However, exception processing and debug mode entry generally have conflicting requirements. In one embodiment, exception priority processing is initially given to the software debug event. Normal state saving is performed and the first instruction of the debug exception handler is fetched, but not executed. Priority is then switched from the software debug event to the hardware debug event and a debug halted state is entered. Once processing of the hardware debug event has been completed, priority is returned to the software debug event and the debug exception handler is executed.
