Are there any limitations to use the debugger and the profiling tool (with tracepoints) simultaneously?

Yes, both debugger and profiling need hardware resources to work. This might lead to shortage of hardware resources and the debugger might not work fully when profiling is enabled. Therefore, it is recommended not to use debugger breakpoints and watchpoints while using the profiling tool.

However, you can work upon this limitation by following the rules given below:

• If you are profiling without tracepoints, you can use all debugger features, that is four breakpoints and one watchpoint.
• If you are profiling with tracepoints, only two breakpoints can be set; and no watchpoint.
• If you are profiling in Expert mode, no debugger breakpoints and watchpoint can be used.
