2014.4 - SDK - How can I debug a running application in SDK?

I have an application executing from boot device on either MicroBlaze or Zynq and I would like to debug it while it is running.

While your application is executing, you can connect to a running target in SDK.

To do this, follow the steps below:

Launch an SDK (no hardware platform is required)
Go to Run -> Debug Configurations
In the Target Setup tab, Select debug type = "attach to running target" (if given the option)

In the SDK debug perspective, right click the processor and attach the symbol file (.elf file)
Suspend the application to pause the processor (use the pause icon)
You can now use all of the debug options (resume, step into, step over, etc.)
