Appeal No. 95-4501
Application No. 07/827,549
This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of
claims 1 through 32, all of the claims pending in the
application.
The invention pertains to the improvement of emulation,
simulation and testability architecture and methods in data
processing devices. More particularly, a data processing
device, comprising a processor and on-chip peripheral
circuitry, ordinarily operable together, and formed on a
single chip, has the capability of selectively entering
externally supplied data into the processor and on-chip
peripherals circuitry for starting and stopping operations of
the processor and the on-chip peripheral circuitry
independently of each other in an emulation mode of operation.
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as
follows:
1. A data processing device formed in a single
semiconductor chip comprising:
an electronic processor, and on-chip peripheral circuitry
ordinarily operative together; and
means for selectively entering externally supplied data
into the electronic processor and on-chip peripheral circuitry
and starting and stopping operations of the electronic
processor and the on-chip peripheral circuitry independently
of each other in an emulation mode of operation.
