 		 #180173 - debug
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Per Westermark said:
Without on-chip debug, lots of hobbyists gets stuck (doesn't matter what processor archictecture) when their processor fails to boot, and they can't figure out if it is an error in the startup file, or the project settings or maybe a failure to correctly download the test program.


This is what I don't understand about the "open source hardware" darling Arduino. The debug pins aren't brought out to any connectors. OK, so the debug pod costs an order of magnitude more than the SiLabs dongle. And the SiLabs eval boards are a lot more useful than the Arduino. I don't get it.
