CCS/LP-CC2652RB: Realtime debugging settings?

When I run this debug configuration it halts my device

The DAP on the Cortex-M4 devices should allow 'real time' debugging by allowing access to peripherals and memory while the device is running. CCS does that on other Cortex-M4 device, don't have a LP-CC2652RB to try.

Hello,

I have seen the video on Using real-time mode to debug c2000 program in Flash the C2000 but the options are slightly different in my view.

Note that ARM Cortex devices does not have the same level of real-time debug support that C2000 has. On ARM Cortex, real-time debug support is limited to non-intrusive memory accesses via the DAP as Chester mentioned. C2000 offers additional real-time debug functionality such as non-intrusive access to registers while the processor is running, and being able to service interrupts while the processor is halted.

Thanks

If I click pause, then play, I can debug the program as expected, but I'm still left with a device that was reset.

Looking at the selected GEL file (C:\ti\ccs1011\ccs\ccs_base\emulation\gel\cc26x2.gel in a CCS 10.1.1 installation) it has the following:

StartUp(int major, int minor, int patch)
{
    /* Initialize memory map */
    memorymap_init();

    /* Debugger specific handling */
    if(GEL_MatchesConnection(".*TIXDS.*") == 1)
    {
        GEL_LoadGel("$(GEL_file_dir)/cc26xx_connect_util.gel");
        GEL_LoadGel("$(GEL_file_dir)/cc26x2_xds.gel");

        DefineResets(0);

        // Issue Board Reset to ensure device is in a known state
        // Note: If you want to attach to a running target without resetting the
        //       device, you must comment out the following 4 lines:
        if(!GEL_IsConnected())
        {
            GEL_AdvancedReset("Board Reset");
        }
    }

If your target configuration is using that default GEL file, it would explain the source of the reset when connecting to a running target.
