Question

Which of the following debugger works at the operating system level?

(a) task level debugging

(b) low level debugging

(c) onboard debugging

This question was addressed to me during an internship interview.

The origin of the question is Debugging Techniques topic in portion Emulation and Debugging Techniques of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) task level debugging

Best explanation: The task level debugging has the ability to works at the operating level or at the particular tasks whereas the low-level debugger cannot set for particular task functions or operations, it can only set a breakpoint at the start of the routine which sends a message.
