ABSTRACT:
A debugging microprocessor used in an in-circuit emulator is made to be capable of moving into a debugging interrupt processing execution mode in response to an external supervisor interrupt instruction. This debugging microprocessor comprises a first program counter put in an operating condition when the microprocessor is in a user's program execution mode, a second program counter put in an operating condition when the microprocessor is in a debugging interrupt processing execution mode, and a program counter controller responding to the external supervisor interrupt instruction to cause a content of the second program counter to be outputted as a program counter value. The program counter controller also responds to a return instruction to cause a content of the first program counter to be outputted as a program counter value. Thus, the content of the first program counter can be accessed in the course of the debugging interrupt processing execution.
