| Abstract(in English) | To improve the bug observability in the embedded systems, we have developed a Debug Support Mechanism that helps Multi-core SoC users to trace the precise behavior of each SoC blocks with user-supplied complex trigger conditions. Our Debug Support Mechanism is composed of observation modules for each target block in the SoC, and a Debug Processor that brings much flexibility in observation functions and conditions. We have applied this Debug Support Mechanism to the Medity M2, a one-chip mobile terminal SoC by NEC Electronics. As a result, we have achieved the improvement of the bug observability by our Debug Support Mechanism. The die area occupied by our Mechanism is less than 1% of the logic part in the Medity M2, and we can safely say that the impact to the die area is small enough. |
