ABSTRACT:
A program processing device that improves efficiency when debugging software. The processing device includes a CPU core and a break circuit, which is connected to an internal bus that is used by the CPU core to access a memory area. The break circuit monitors the internal bus and checks whether a designated variable in the program has been rewritten. When the designated variable has been rewritten, the break circuit breaks the operation of the CPU core.
