Abstract
The disclosed device includes a debug circuit and a controller. The debug circuit corresponds to a programmable state machine for responding to trigger conditions based on processor events. The controller is configured to receive a hot loadable patch for a processor firmware, apply the hot loadable patch to reprogram a programmable state machine for monitoring processor events, and run the reprogrammed programmable state machine to monitor the processor events. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
