Abstract

A debugging subsystem for testing a system-on-a-chip includes an embedded processor and memory and includes at least one debugging subblock monitors a bus between the processor and the memory to detect selected triggering events, counts the number of triggering events detected and when the number of triggering events reaches a predetermined threshold, generates a debugging signal.
