Abstract
An integral breakpoint detector. The integral breakpoint detector may be included in a processor, a chipset, or another bus agent. One embodiment is an apparatus such as an integrated circuit that includes a bus interface to communicate with a bus and an integrated breakpoint detector. The bus interface may include a bus tracker which communicates with the integrated breakpoint detector. The integrated breakpoint detector is to provide a first indication responsive to an occurrence of a predetermined relationship between a programmable value and a condition related to the bus.
