Hi team,

I am using imxrt1170 eval board and even our custom board with imxrt1176 controller.

when we connect USB debugging using the usb to micro-b cable the timer code is executing and timer is also working, but when we connect the PE micro-USB debugger to the eval board and debug, even in free running mode (without any breakpoint) also the timer code is not working.

Any pin or functionality affecting the timers of imxrt1170 eval board with the PE micro-USB debugger.

Hello @Jeevan ,

In order for your timer to continue counting in Debug mode, the bit called "DBGEN" in the register called "GPT Control Register (CR)" should be in 1. The purpose of this bit is enabled or disable the timer when the code is in debug mode, as show in the next image that was obtained in the RMHabib_Melchor_Santos_0-1716504825709.png

 

 

Also, if you experience any issue, do not hesitate to let me know.
