CCS/TMS320C6713B: Debugging C6713 with XDS560V2 JTAG debugger

Part Number:TMS320C6713B

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi there,

I have a custom board equipped with C6713 DSP and I have a XDS560V2 JTAG debugger at hand.  

I meet a situation like this:

I have another software(let's call it SW-XXX) that uploads and runs a program on the C6713DSP, but the behavior is not desired. So I want to attach the debugger to the running DSP and load symbols through CCSv6, set breakpoints in the software code and see what the variables' values are, aka DEBUG. But as soon as the debugger gets connected to the target( C6713 ), SW-XXX loses its connection to the DSP. It seems like the debugger takes the control out of SW-XXX. So I cannot observe what's really going on in the DSP while SW-XXX is running.

So my question is:

Is it feasible to do what I want to do described above? If the running program on the DSP will not be control by SW-XXX once the debugger is connected, then how do I do the actual debugging?  what's the point of the debugger? 

Thanks a lot!
