The Microchip AVR UC3 OCD system is designed in accordance with the Nexus 2.0 standard (IEEE-ISTO 5001™-2003), which is a highly flexible and powerful open on-chip debug standard for 32-bit microcontrollers. It supports the following features:
- Nexus compliant debug solution
- OCD supports any CPU speed
- Six Program Counter hardware breakpoints
- Two data breakpoints
- Breakpoints can be configured as watchpoints
- Hardware breakpoints can be combined to give break on ranges
- Unlimited number of user program breakpoints (using BREAK)
- Real-time Program Counter branch tracing, data trace, process trace (supported only by debuggers with parallel trace capture port)
