Question about single stepping

Print Post  
Your video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkG5MvyEurI shows single stepping in the debugger.   
But your webpage at https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Debugging-Differences.html says:
"Visual Micro does not offer single stepping. This means that you can't step through your code one line or statement at a time. It is also not possible to step into or over a function or to "step out" of a function."
Can you please clarify the apparent discrepancy.

The note on this page is referring to the Visual Micro Serial Debugger, compared to Visual Studio Native Debugging.  Hardware Debugging in Visual Micro is virtually identical to Native Debugging in its operation.

With the Serial Debugger you can only move between pre-defined breakpoints/trace points, which are set before upload.

With the Hardware Debugger you can step in/out/over, and move/edit breakpoints, after the code has been uploaded and the debugging session has started.

This page helps to compare all 3 debugging systems in a tabular format:
