RealView Debugger User Guide: 11.1. About setting breakpoints

11.1. About setting breakpoints

RealView Debugger enables you to set different types of breakpoints when you are debugging your image. You can set:

software and hardware breakpoints
breakpoints that are unconditional or conditional.
breakpoints that are specific to OS-aware applications.

The type of breakpoint you can set depends on the:

memory map, if enabled
hardware support provided by your target processor
Debug Interface used to maintain the target connection
running state if you are debugging an OS-aware application.

Note

RealView Debugger also uses temporary breakpoints to halt execution as you:

run to a specific point in your application
step through your application.

These breakpoints are not visible to you, and RealView Debugger removes them when execution continues.

If required, you can store the breakpoints you have set for an image. When you next load that image, RealView Debugger sets the breakpoints automatically.
