8.6 Having servicing interrupts in debug mode
Under some circumstances it may be useful or even necessary to have some servic-
ing interrupts still firing while the CPU is "halted" for the debugger (meaning it has
taken the debug interrupt and is executing the monitor code). This can be for keep-
ing motor controls active or a Bluetooth link etc. In general it is possible to have such
interrupts by just assigning a higher priority to them than the debug interrupt has.
Please keep in mind that there are some limitations for such interrupts:
• They cannot be debugged
• No breakpoints must be set in any code used by these interrupts
