Abstract
This disclosure involves debugging code for resource-constrained intelligent devices contemporaneously with executing object code on the intelligent device. For example, object code is transmitted to a radio device. A program counter entry is provided from the radio device to a computer via a communication link contemporaneously with a pause in execution of the object code at the radio device. A correspondence between the program counter entry and a portion of assembly code, which was used to generate the object code, is identified and is used to generate a list of additional program counter entries for pausing the object code's execution. The list is provided from the computer to the radio device and is used to pause the object code's execution at the radio device. Log data is provided from the radio device to the computer for display after pausing the object code's execution at one of these program counter entries.
