Abstract :
The amount of time and resources that have to be spent on debugging of embedded cores continuously increases. Approaches valid 10 years ago can no longer be used due to the variety and complexity of peripheral components of SoC solutions that even might consist of multiple heterogeneous cores. In this contribution we show how debugging and tracing of embedded processor cores can be enhanced by use of an externally synchronized cpu core.
