Abstract:
A method and apparatus for non-intrusive on-chip debugging is disclosed. The method and apparatus also support remote protocol to directly communicate with a host machine running a debugger software, without any additional debug controllers in between. And scan-chain is not required for said method and apparatus.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of debugging software using additional hardware comprising:\n receiving frames in the format of UART/RS232 protocol from a host machine that runs GNU Debugger; without fetching or executing software instructions, extracting packets of GNU Remote Serial Protocol from said UART/RS232 frames with Flip-Flops and combinational logics only; saving the payload of said packets of GNU Remote Protocol in a buffer; without using scan-chain, performing control actions and preparing reply packets only for a subset of commands in GNU Remote Serial Protocol; without fetching or executing software instructions, sending the reply packets using the UART/RS232 Protocol with Flip-Flops and combinational logics only.
