The Debug menu provides a variety of options for you to use to view or control debug information.
The menu options enable you to select options for viewing debug information, to start or stop debugging, to break execution and control breakpoint behavior, or to access other helpful dialog boxes.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
Windows |
Opens a selection of Debug windows. For more information, see Debug Windows. |

Break all |
Stops execution of all programs that run under the debugger. The programs do not exit, and you can resume execution at any time. For more information, see Breakpoints. |
Stop Debugging |
Stops the Kernel Debugger. If you stop the debugger when the target device is in a run state instead of a break state, the debugger stub remains attached to the kernel and continues to stop the device. |
