Systems and methods for enabling debugging

A System-on-Chip comprising:

• a host interface that receives a scan dump instruction from a network computing device connected to a base CPU platform across a network connection;
• and
• a control interface that captures, in response to the scan dump instruction, a snapshot of memory of a peripheral device that is connected to the base CPU platform through an expansion socket;
• wherein the host interface further transmits the snapshot to the network computing device through memory addresses that have been assigned to memory-mapped input/output.
