Real-Time Mode
From Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki
Selected TI devices support a capability called "Real-Time" mode.
Real-time mode is a mode of operation whereby the contents of memory, peripheral and register locations can be modified while the processor is running and executing code and servicing interrupts. The user can also single step through non-time critical code while enabling time-critical interrupts to be serviced without interference. No software monitor is required.
This is particuarly useful if your device has needs to continue servicing interrupts from your system while you are debugging your main control code.
More details on how to use "Real-Time" mode in Code Composer Studio can be found at this topic: Real-Time_Mode_Debug_with_CCStudio
You can also read about Real-Time mode in the debug section of the C2000 data manuals such as SPRU430.
