Co-Verification of hardware and software for ARM SOC design第二章stub节:
开头说:For processors that have no hardware support for debugging, the software debugger can communicate with the embedded system using a stub.
中间说:The stub software communicates with the debugger using a communication channel such as a serial port or Ethernet connection.
问题:communication channel such as a serial port or Ethernet connection 算不算是hardware提供的support for debugging? 如果hardware processor不能提供communication channel,stub也应该无所作为吧?
请多多指教! 谢谢!
