1. Overview

The Development Menu is the screen that is first displayed when the PARTNER-CTR Debugger or CTR test unit is turned on.

It is a substitute for the HOME Menu for CTR devices and has minimal functionality.
When the HOME Button is pressed while an application is running, that application is interrupted and this menu is displayed.

However, to return to the Development Menu, the application must handle a press of the HOME Button.

3. Note

The Development Menu is a minimal implementation. Apart from its appearance, it has a number of restrictions that do not apply to the actual HOME Menu.

The sleep-related implementation differs from the HOME Menu and in some places does not account for critical timing. As a result, if the system enters Sleep Mode during an application transition (this includes closing the application and returning), it may not recover.
