Apologies Joseph, you are correct. I just re-checked the ASMIDF manuals and they do not directly say that it supports debugging authorized code. The Fine Manuals actually don’t say one way or another whether authorized debugging is supported, but since it is not specifically documented as possible I would presume that it is not.
I suppose you could try making ASMIDF itself authorized in an APF library so you could try debugging authorized code, but I suspect that exercise would end up causing more problems than it may be worth.
