Debugging Methods and Devices for Microcontrollers

摘要

A method and apparatus for debugging micro-controllers, the method comprising: a reset command decoder circuit capable of generating a reset signal to reset the micro-controller to an initial state through a time delay circuit if an error occurs in a program. Provide the reset command code. The apparatus includes a reset command decoder circuit and a time delay circuit. First, the apparatus decodes the reset command code by the reset command decoder circuit, and receives and extends the decode signal transmitted from the reset command decoder circuit by the next time delay circuit. This reset instruction code provides the programmer with the means to restore the micro-controller to its initial state. Additionally, if this instruction code is filled in the clearance between program blocks, the reset instruction code can reset the micro-controller to restore normal function when the program executes incorrectly and enters the clearance.
