This invention relates to a debug device and method thereof and is applied
to detect transmission on a bus in a computer system having a CPU, a
north bridge chip and a south bridge chip. The debug device consists of a
processing unit, a comparing unit and a recording unit. The processing
unit receives a first address signal and a second address signal from the
north bridge chip, and correspondingly transmits an index signal and a
test data to the north bridge chip. The comparing unit compares the first
and the second address signal to generate a comparing signal. And the
recording unit records the first and the second address signal and the
comparing signal. The north bridge chip connects to the south bridge chip
via a bus, and the debug device also connects to the south bridge chip.
Therefore the north bridge chip and the debug device transmit to both
through the south chip.
