Abstract
In this paper, we implement processor debugger based on OCD(On-Chip Debugger). Implemented debugger consist of software debugger that supports a functionality of symbolic debugging, OCD integrated into target processor as a function of debugging, and Interface & Control block which interfaces software debugger and OCD at high speed rates. The debugger supports c/assembly level debugging using software debugger as OCD is integrated into target processor. After OCD block is interfaced with 32bit RISC processor core and then implemented with FPGA, the verification of On-Chip Debugging System is carried out through connecting OCD and Interface & Control block, and SW debugger.
