Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: controlling an operating mechanism using a manipulation unit, wherein the operating mechanism includes at least one microcontroller, at least one memory with a plurality of memory cells, and at least one debug interface, and wherein the debug interface includes a monitoring functionality for monitoring memory content; detecting a first timepoint of the operating mechanism using the debug interface; writing a first value into a first memory cell of the first memory; transmitting, by the debug interface, information comprising the first timepoint to the manipulation unit, wherein a trigger timepoint results for a processing routine using the manipulation unit; and writing a second value by the manipulation unit using the debug interface at a second timepoint into the first memory cell of the first memory before the first memory cell of the first memory is read by the operating mechanism at a third timepoint.
