Abstract

A system, computer program and a method for debugging a system, the method includes: controlling, by a debugger, an execution flow of a processing entity; setting, by the debugger or the processing entity, a value of a scheduler control variable accessible by the scheduler; wherein the debugger is prevented from directly controlling an execution flow of a scheduler; and determining, by the scheduler, an execution flow of the scheduler in response to a value of the scheduler control variable.
