12The source code shows how to:
13
14#. Configure registers to enable degugging in debug monitor mode
15#. Specify custom interrupt to be executed when entering a breakpoint

19Requirements
20************
21
22Your board must:
23
24#. Support Debug Monitor feature (available on Cortex-M processors with the exception of Cortex-M0)
25#. Have an LED connected via a GPIO pin (these are called "User LEDs" on many of
26 Zephyr's :ref:`boards`).
27#. Have the LED configured using the ``led0`` devicetree alias.

29Building and Running
30********************
31
32Build and flash Debug Monitor as follows, changing ``reel_board`` for your board:
33
34.. zephyr-app-commands::
35 :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/debug/debugmon
36 :board: reel_board
37 :goals: build flash
38 :compact:
39
40After flashing the board enters a breakpoint and executes debug monitor exception code.
41The LED starts to blink, indicating that even though the processor spins in debug monitor
42interrupt, other higher priority interrupts continue to execute.
