Real-time Debug
Traditional debugging approaches (Stop Mode) require that
programmers completely halt their system which stops all
threads and prevents interrupts from being handled, which
makes debugging extremely difficult if the system/application
hasreal-timeconstraints.RealTimeModedebugsupportpro-
vides a better gauge of real-world system behavior by enabling
programmers to halt and examine the application while allowing
user specified time critical interrupts to be handled.
•Enablesreal-time,non-intrusive,continuousvisibilityintothe 
way target applications operate in the real world
•Does not require use of target memory, special interrupts,
or integration with the application
•Allows time critical interrupts to be marked for special
treatment (high priority)
•Allows time critical interrupts to be serviced while background
program execution is suspended
•Built into C2000 devices and Code Composer Studio

The right software development tools are essential in any project. C2000’s controlSUITE, along with C2000 partners,
provide a complete ecosystem of debug and software tools.
