摘要:
A data processor (10) and method which provides show-cycles on a fast multiplexed bus (28) using two distinct modes of operation. A first mode of operation supports a standard show-cycle on a multiplexed bus for interface to a passive device such as a logic analyzer (100). A second mode of operation supports emulation tools (100) with real-time tracking of control functions using a multiplexed bus. During each of the modes of operation of the data processor (10), both read and write show cycles are supported and are consistently provided in a similar format.

An integrated circuit terminal of a data processing system (10) is used to communicate multiplexed signals with an external device. During a reset operation in which a reset signal is asserted, a desired internal clock signal is driven to the integrated circuit terminal such that an emulation system (52) may use the internal clock signal to synchronize an emulation operation. After the reset signal is negated, the emulation system synthesizes the internal clock signal for use during emulation. External visibility of a write operation to a register which controls pertinent signal parameters is provided via other integrated circuit terminals when the data processor operates in an emulation mode. The external visibility allows the development system to make similar changes to corresponding signal parameters therein. Therefore, the development system is able to accurately synchronize an emulation operation even when signal parameters are modified during operation.
摘要:
Existing chip select comparator logic (42) is used to compare a portion of the address value with a range of chip select addresses to provide match signals for use by both the chip select logic (70) and a breakpoint logic circuit (50.x). The match signal is used by the chip select logic circuit (70) and is reused by the breakpoint logic circuit to perform a different and distinct function. By using the match signal and a breakpoint enable bit, the breakpoint logic circuit selectively asserts a breakpoint signal. Subsequently, a central processing unit (12) receives the breakpoint signal and initiates a breakpoint exception operation to determine whether the breakpoint condition is met and whether further action should be taken.
摘要:
A data processing system (10) allows an authorized user to unlock a security mode by providing a code stored in a plurality of mask registers (60,62,66) such that the system is selectively allowed to communicate with an external device. When an reset signal is received, a selector (48) selects a first mask register (60) and retrieves a first stored address value and a first stored data value therefrom. The first stored address and data values are respectively compared with a first address value and a first data value by a comparator (44). This process of selecting and comparing continues until a final match signal is asserted. When the final match signal is asserted, a secure signal is negated and the system may communicate with the external user.
