Abstract
Configuration of availability of debugging messages during the execution of a firmware in a debugging mode of operation is provided. The configuration can be updated without rebuilding the firmware. Thus, a selection of a group of available types of debugging messages can be updated dynamically, at various runtime instances of the firmware. The selection can be accomplished by configuring, at a runtime of the firmware, a level of recordation of debugging messages and one or more data structures associated with the level or recordation. Each of the one or more data structures includes elements indicative of respective types of debugging messages being enabled or disabled for presentation during the execution of the firmware in the debugging mode of operation. A debugging message can be provided based at least partially on at least one of the data structure(s) during the execution of the firmware in the debugging mode of operation.
