3.1.2 Agent mode
In this mode, the target agent runs within the BDI. There is no need for any debug software on the
target system. After loading the VxWorks core (or even any other fully linked executable) debugging
can begin at the very first statement (e.g. sysInit). This mode is useful to get an initial VxWorks code
running or in the final state of a development, when no debug support is linked into the application.
This mode also supports the PowerPC built in breakpoint logic. It’s possible to debug ROM resident
applications.
Whenever the bdiWind system is started (target is powered on) the following sequence starts:
