ABSTRACT:
A multiprocessor system includes a plurality of processors. A debugger interface includes interface circuitry to interface the plurality of processors to a debugger. The debugger interface includes means for receiving a debugger command from the debugger. Debugger command directing means determines from the debugger command for which of at least one of the plurality of processors the debugger command is intended, directs the debugger command, via the interface circuitry to the at least one intended processor. A processor command is received from one of the plurality of processors, and processor command directing means directs the processor command, received from the one processor, via the interface circuitry to the debugger. The system is especially suited for debugging software that is executing on the plurality of processors of the multiprocessor system.
