Atomic Blocks:
Debug accesses are described in block elements of a debug access sequence (sequence element). The following syntax is used for this purpose:
Expressions are used in various places to describe one of the following:
An expression may consist of the following:
Debug access functions can be called in expressions in order to interact with the target device and the user. Parameters to functions can again be expressions.
By default, a debugger must abort the execution of a debug access sequence if a function call fails. However, this behavior can be controlled from a sequence by the __errorcontrol debug access variable.
The following table describes the existing debug access functions, their parameters and the debug access variables which are evaluated for the function call.
