Real-time debug in low-power devices

Abstract

According to an embodiment, a method for debugging a low-power domain in a multi-power domain device is disclosed. The method includes mapping a critical signal of the low-power domain to a latch circuit of a register bank; capturing, by the latch circuit, transitions of the critical signal in registers of the register bank; observing, by a core circuit in a switchable power domain of the multi-power domain device, registers of the register bank; and determining a fault corresponding to the critical signal based on a value of the registers of the register bank.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
