People often spend too long in firmware because the debugger still connects. That does not mean the hardware is healthy.

If rails sag, reset chatters, clocks disappear, or buses only work when probed, suspect hardware immediately. Firmware can only be debugged meaningfully after the physical preconditions are real.
