Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a debugging method, a chip, a board, and a system and relate to the communications field. Remote debugging can be performed on a board having no main control CPU without affecting hardware distribution and software performance. The method includes: receiving, by an Ethernet port, a data packet and determining a current service type according to a service identifier carried in the data packet; when determining the current service type is a debugging service, writing the data packet into a memory through a bus and sending an interruption notification to a CPU through the bus; reading, by the CPU, the data packet from the memory according to the interruption notification, obtaining a debugging instruction by parsing the data packet, and sending the debugging instruction to an ASIC through a protocol conversion module.
