1. A method for debugging a program running on hardware including modules that are reconfigurable in a configuration cycle with respect to at least one of function and interconnection, comprising:

  • in each of at least a subset of a plurality of configuration cycles performed during the running of the program and for which debug information is to be obtained, at least a subset of the reconfigurable hardware modules being reconfigured in each of the configuration cycles with respect to the at least one of function and interconnection;

    writing debug information into a memory; and

    reading out of the memory the debug information for use by a debugger;

    analyzing by the debugger the debug information; and

    during the running of the program, loading a configuration during the debugging after occurrence of a debugging condition according to which information regarding the configuration to be debugged is needed;

    wherein the reading out of the memory the debug information is performed using the configuration.
