    Usually what I do is to set and extra output high depending on the
situation. Depending on the situation you can just lit a LED to see that you
are past some part of the program. It all depends on the resources you have
available. With an Scope you can drive a certain pattern to see where you
are. With a logic analyser you can send full bytes out. With an LED you can
see that you are past some point. Debugging is always the hardest part of
most programs. I almost never use a logic analyser or an ICE, they take too
much time to setup, but I do flash led's a lot when I am writing programs. A
piezo sounder is also a nice option to have around. Basically you want to
use the "external World" interfaces that you have around your CPU.
