To ensure that the subsystem debug registers can always be accessed, regardless of the application power-management scenarios, a FORCEACTIVE directive can be issued through the debugger along the entire debug session. From an application standpoint, the system state, status, and timing are preserved, but the subsystem power domain is never shut down. Therefore, the emulation setup is preserved across power transitions, regardless of where the debug hardware is implemented.
If the debugger connects and the subsystem were previously powered down, a FORCEACTIVE directive wakes up the system and allows the debugger to take control of the system.
