1. A programmable device, comprising:
- a plurality of programmable blocks;
a debug interface coupled with the plurality of programmable blocks; and
a power manager coupled with the plurality of programmable blocks, wherein the power manager is configured to, based on a value of a register in a power subsystem, supply a first power level to a subset of the plurality of programmable blocks during debugging of the subset while supplying to a different subset of the plurality of programmable blocks a second power level different from the first power level.
