  • Microprocessor for saving contextual data when switching to a test program
    Patent number: 6760834
    Abstract: A microprocessor may be switchable between a normal mode and a test mode for performing a test program and may include a central processing unit (CPU) for saving contextual data in a stack of the microprocessor at the time of switching to the test mode. The CPU may deliver, at the beginning of the test program and on an input/output port, contextual data present in the stack beginning with the top of the stack. The CPU may also decrement a stack pointer by a value corresponding to a number of contextual data delivered.
    Type: Grant
