Complex RTOS-based systems can have many tasks and dozens of ISRs that need to be completed in a timely manner. Figuring out whether everything is working properly (or why it isn't) is way easier with the right tools. If you've been troubleshooting with the occasional print statement or blinking LEDs, you're in for a treat!

Toward the end of this chapter, we'll take a look at other debugging tools, as well as techniques for reducing the number of bugs that get written in the first place.
