My thoughts were very similar to yours. In 1992, when I started out in embedded on a Philips 8051 and debugging it was via an ICE and had direct visibility and control of the 8051.
The ICE would be connected to a bonded out version of the 8051 and I was almost able to capture every single clock cycle of 8051's execution. When I hit a failure, I would just replay the trace and see what went wrong.
It looks like the folks on the big machines have caught up :-)
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoI had access to a Huntsville Microsystems ICe that used a bog-standard - non-bonded-out - 68008 in harness. I had scripting tools that would capture and replay all the registers to back the machine up. That HMI was a brilliant machine. It's really the last debug tool I ever used besides AVR, PIC and one ARM JTAG for doing BSP work.
