Abstract
A debugging method is used for the keyboard controller code. Through the breakpoints set at the testing end and loaded debugging program, the keyboard controller code sends state data to the testing end at the breakpoints in accord with the debugging program. The testing end returns commands according to the received state data to trace the execution state of the code, thereby debugging the code procedure.
