Abstract
A programmable unit having an OCDS module and a method for using an external debugger to debug the programmable unit equipped with the OCDS module are described. The programmable unit is distinguished in that it has a reset management device by use of which it is possible to determine whether the OCDS module should or should not also be reset when the programmable unit is reset. Therefore, the debugging is not interfered with or interrupted by the programmable unit being reset before or during the debugging process.
