Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for debugging a solid-state disk (SSD) device, comprising:
a Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) add-on board; and
a Raspberry Pi, comprising:
a first General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) interface (I/F), coupled to the JTAG add-on board; and
a processing unit, coupled to the first GPIO I/F, arranged operably to: simulate to issue a plurality of JTAG command through the first GPIO I/F to the SSD device for dumping data generated by the SSD device during operation from the SSD device,

wherein the processing unit is arranged operably to: simulate to issue a first JTAG command through the first GPIO I/F to the SSD device for stopping a running of a processing unit of a flash controller in the SSD device; simulate to issue a second JTAG command through the first GPIO I/F to the SSD device for forcing the SSD device to exit a sleep mode; and simulate to issue a third JTAG command through the first GPIO I/F to the SSD device for reading a designated length of data from a static random access memory (SRAM) in the SSD device.
