Abstract

An integrated circuit with multiple circuit cores each of which have integrated emulated circuits, and an emulation interface module, such that the integrated circuit has an on-chip debugging system. As cores other than a processor core have integrated emulation circuits, debugging of programs and operations of systems-on-a-chip becomes viable.
