Abstract:
1. An online debug system for an information processing device, the system comprising: an information processing device and a debug device for debugging the information processing device online from outside, the information processing device has a connection terminal to which a storage device is connected so that the information processing device can acquire data stored in the storage device, the information processing device has a debug performing unit for debugging software to be executed in the information processing device based on a directive from the outside and a data expansion unit for validating the data read from the storage device, the data stored in the storage device has a communication driver group that permits the debug performing unit to communicate with the outside via the connection terminal, and when the communication driver group is read from the storage device connected to the connection terminal and validated by the data expansion unit, the validated communication driver group enables communication between the debug performing unit and the debug device that is connected to the connection terminal and transfers the directive from outside of the information processing device, wherein the data stored in the storage device has a list denoting the communication driver group that corresponds to the information processing device and the communication driver groups registered in the list, and the data expansion unit references the list to select the communication driver group that is specified as corresponding to the information processing device, reads the selected communication driver group from the storage device, and validates the selected communication driver group.
