ABSTRACT:
A microcomputer includes a central processing unit for sequentially executing instructions according to a software program. When the CPU decodes a marker, the CPU determines the location of the marker within the software program and produces a marker decoding signal showing that the CPU has decoded the marker. A monitor unit obtains CPU operation information about operation of the CPU in response to the marker decoding signal. The monitor unit provides to a storage unit the CPU operation information and a marker identifier showing that the marker has been decoded.
