  • System for debugging (N) break points by dividing a computer program to (n+1) regions each contains no break point and using two registers to define the start and end addresses of each region
    Patent number: 6182208
    Abstract: A system for debugging the computer program present in read-only memory (ROM) contains a debugger, a processor, read-only memory, a bus and a hardware debugging support module. The hardware debugging support module contains a first register called the range start register, a second register called the range end register and a comparator. The debugger uses a list of “n” user specified break points to divide a computer program into “n+1” regions, each of which has a start address and an end address. The first register and the second register of the hardware debugging support module are programmed with the start address and end address of a region which contains a specific address. The comparator is connected to the first register and second register of the hardware debugging support module and is also connected to the bus which connects the read-only memory to the processor.
