Abstract: A processor includes an execution pipeline that includes a plurality of execution stages, execution pipeline control logic, and a debug system. The execution pipeline control logic is configured to control flow of an instruction through the execution stages. The debug system includes a debug pipeline and debug pipeline control logic. The debug pipeline includes a plurality of debug stages. Each debug pipeline stage corresponds to an execution pipeline stage, and the total number of debug stages corresponds to the total number of execution stages. The debug pipeline control logic is coupled to the execution pipeline control logic. The debug pipeline control logic is configured to control flow through the debug stages of debug information associated with the instruction, and to advance the debug information into a next of the debug stages in correspondence with the execution pipeline control logic advancing the instruction into a corresponding stage of the execution pipeline.

Abstract: A processor includes execution circuitry, within an execution power domain, to process an instruction; and a debug system, within a separate debug power domain, to selectively operate to perform debugging operations on the processor. The processor further includes power control circuitry coupled to the debug system; and detection circuitry coupled to the power control circuitry. The power control circuitry causes power to be supplied to the debug system when the detection circuitry indicates that a debug tool is coupled to the processor, and disables power supply to the debug system when the detection circuitry indicates that the debug tool is not coupled to the processor.
