Having servicing interrupts in debug mode

Under some circumstances it may be useful or even necessary to have some servic-

ing interrupts still firing while the CPU is "halted" for the debugger (meaning it has

taken the debug interrupt and is executing the monitor code). This can be for keep-

ing motor controls active or a Bluetooth link etc. In general it is possible to have such

interrupts by just assigning a higher priority to them than the debug interrupt has.

Please keep in mind that there are some limitations for such interrupts:

They cannot be debugged

No breakpoints must be set in any code used by these interrupts
