1. A method for program-flow reporting in a transceiver of a communication system having a program-flow, wherein the program-flow is for initializing the communication system and includes a plurality of activation states, the method comprising the steps of:

  • selecting one or more states of the plurality of activation states to be reported during the program-flow, wherein the one or more states of the plurality of activation states are selected states;

    selecting a reporting level from a predetermined number of reporting levels, wherein the predetermined number of reporting levels includes a reporting level for reporting an identity and a beginning of each selected state of the plurality of activation states, wherein the identity of the selected state is included at a transition to each of the selected states in the program-flow;

    detecting, during the program-flow, each of the selected states;

    if a selected state is detected, interrupting a host processor of the transceiver; and

    reporting the identity of the selected state to the host processor.
