Abstract

The invention relates to a debug system for debugging software components and hardware components on an integrated circuit. The layered architecture of the debug system according to the invention ensures that the debug framework is generic, because only the debuggers and the target adapter need to be changed, depending on the specific components which should be debugged. Any change in the status of a component affected through a debugger or through execution of the target system, can be reflected in the status of other components present in the target system. A set of Application Programming Interfaces (API’s) comprising of software layers enable the interconnection of the debuggers and the software and hardware components. They also enable synchronization of debug requests, which facilitates the simultaneous debugging of various software and hardware components.
