4.7.1.1 Start and Stop Debugging

To debug an application in MPLAB X IDE, you must create a project containing your source code so that the code may be built, programmed into your device, and executed as specified below:


	Debug or execute project code in debug mode.
	Pause or halt code execution.
	Continue code execution after a pause or halt.
	For paused/halted code, Step Into or execute one instruction. Be careful not to step into a Sleep instruction or you will have to perform a processor Reset to resume emulation.
	For paused/halted code, Step Over an instruction.
	Finish the debug session, which ends code execution.
	Perform a processor Reset. Additional Resets, such as POR/BOR, MCLR and System, may be available, depending on device.
