  • Publication number: 20120095728
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus is provided which allows easy identification of a correspondence relationship between a trace packet and a performance packet. The data processing apparatus includes: a measurement trigger generation unit that generates a measurement trigger; a performance monitor unit that measures a performance measurement event collected from a central processing unit (CPU) and outputs a measurement value; and a CPU trace unit that generates a trace packet sequence of trace information including an operation record of the CPU. Upon receipt of the measurement trigger, the performance monitor unit starts or ends measurement of performance metrics or outputs the measurement value, while, upon receipt of the measurement trigger, the CPU trace unit generates a trigger packet indicating generation of the measurement trigger and inserts the trigger packet, at a position corresponding to timing with which the measurement trigger is generated, into the trace packet sequence.

  • Publication number: 20100090718
    Abstract: States of LSI internal signals (100 to 107) are monitored. Signal name information (31), signal state information (32), and information (33) about time in an LSI when a signal undergoes a state transition, are packetized and output as trace information (10) to the outside. In a development supporting device, the trace information (10) is decoded, the time information of the LSI is converted into real-time information, and based on the resultant information, a waveform of an LSI internal signal is reproduced. A plurality of LSI internal signals can be traced using terminals (16) the number of which is smaller than the number of the signals to be traced.

  • Patent number: 7533251
    Abstract: When a call instruction or interrupt branch is executed by a CPU, its return address is pushed to a stack memory. When a return instruction is executed, the pushed return address is popped from the stack memory. When a return instruction is executed by the CPU, a comparator compares the branch address output from the CPU and the address output from the stack memory. As a result of the comparison, if the addresses match, the branch address is not output as trace information. If the addresses do not match, the address register receives the branch address from the CPU and outputs the received branch address as the trace information.

  • Patent number: 6158023
    Abstract: The present invention provides a debug apparatus that can set complex break conditions, minimize a time lag from the detection of a break event to the break an execution of a program, and has a debug function with a necessary minimized break determinator included in a chip. A part of the break conditions in a sequence is set in an external break determinator. The remaining condition other than the part of the conditions is set in an internal break determinator. While monitoring an operation status of a processor executing a program, when the conditions set in the external break determinator are satisfied, a break enable signal is input to an AND logic circuit via a break enable input terminal and is held. When the break determinator detects the satisfaction of the remaining condition stored in the internal break determinator, a break signal is supplied from the AND logic circuit to the CPU, thereby breaking the program without delay.

  • Patent number: 5929939
    Abstract: There is provided a correlation degree operation apparatus in which the search area is readily extensible, in which a high-speed process can be assured even though the search area is extended, and which can be formed in a simple arrangement. The search area memory stores the picture element data of a search area including ((m.times.M).times.L) candidate blocks. The correlation degree operation unit executes an operation of a degree of correlation between a reference picture block and each of the candidate blocks, with the use of picture element data supplied from the search area memory, this operation being executed by a pipeline process for each candidate block group composed of (M.times.L) candidate blocks. The search area memory has the function of supplying four picture element data at the same clock cycle. This enables the correlation degree operation unit to continuously execute the pipeline processes for the candidate block groups.
