You know, there is a reason Microchip released the ICD2, ICD3 and
PICKit2 Debug Express. All of the three support in-circuit debugging
over the programming pins -- set a code breakpoint (or watchpoint), wait
for it to trigger, then dump the program state.
And do those debugger tools run on any OS other than Windows? Beats the LEDs-and-switches debugging method, or
the "hook a terminal
up" trick...
If the answer to the above is No, then it does not beat the "hook a
terminal up" trick... or an LED trick or plenty of other tricks...
not by a long shot.
