Invoking Debugger on a Running Program

Can the debugger be setup to 'capture' the current C program execution location of a program running in flash if it is not running when the program starts execution?
When I worked with the TI GO DSP IDE years ago I recall there was a way to invoke the debugger on a running on-chip program and have it just load the program's symbols. In this way the user could 'capture' the exact program C code that was executing when the debugger was initiated.
I have tried the many combinations in the debugger Options -Debug and -Utility tabs with no real success.
Thanks.

  • I heard something about the below, but I don't really understand it.

    RealMonitor is a configurable software module which enables real time debug.
    RealMonitor is developed by ARM Inc. Information presented in this chapter is taken from
    the ARM document RealMonitor Target Integration Guide (ARM DUI 0142A). It applies to
    a specific configuration of RealMonitor software programmed in the on-chip ROM boot
    memory of this device.
    - Allows user to establish a debug session to a currently running system without halting
    or resetting the system.
    - Allows user time-critical interrupt code to continue executing while other user
    application code is being debugged.
