In addition to processor debug, the DEBUGSS can be used to access the device memory map from the perspective of the processor. Thus, a connected debug probe can be used to read and write memory-mapped peripheral registers, the system SRAM, and the flash memory.
Certain peripherals support advanced debug configuration options. These options are configured by application software (or optionally, the debug probe) by setting/clearing various debug control bits in the memory map of a given peripheral. In general, the debug behavior of a particular peripheral is specified in the EMU register of each peripheral. Many peripherals offer the option of halting the functional clock to the peripheral when the processor is halted for debug, thus pausing the peripheral together with the processor (default configuration), or letting the peripheral run even when the processor is halted for debug.
For example, the SYSTIM peripheral supports the RUN/STOP bits in the EMU register. Setting the RUN bit in EMU for a SYSTIM causes the SYSTIM to run even if the processor is halted for debug.
