As discussed in Part 1 in this series, in the same way the OCP data socket is a superset for the different bus interfaces and data structures, an OCP debug socket will provide a superset of the debug solutions based on standardized libraries of debug IP blocks that interact with the debug sockets signals. This allows the following:

As discussed in Part 1 in this series, in the same way the OCP data socket is a superset for the different bus interfaces and data structures, an OCP debug socket will provide a superset of the debug solutions based on standardized libraries of debug IP blocks that interact with the debug sockets signals. This allows the following:
-
Signal level observation (bus and system trace) and control (triggering)
-
Consistent (multiple) processor software debugger and bus traffic observation interfaces
-
Special debug features for security islands, voltage islands, gated clock islands etc.
-
New classes of debug errors (which are different from system errors.
