ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for event detection for a multiple instruction-set processor. In one example of the apparatus, a data processing device comprises an instruction execution device configured to execute a first instruction set as specific instructions; an instruction conversion circuit configured to convert instructions of a second instruction set into a first instruction string of the first instruction set, and further configured to supply the first instruction string to the instruction execution device; and a counter device configured to count a prescribed event, wherein the instruction conversion circuit is further configured to output a prescribed instruction when the counter device is satisfied by a prescribed condition.
