Setting a Breakpoint at Module Entry

To add a breakpoint to intercept the module initialization event, follow the steps below:
Important
You can only add four breakpoints for module entries due to hardware breakpoint limitations.
  1. Load necessary modules.
    For instructions, see Loading Debug Information or Debugging UEFI BIOS (for loading PEI or DXE modules).
  2. Halt the target and select the desired thread in the Debug view.
  3. Open the Modules view and check if all modules for the selected debug contexts are loaded successfully.
  4. Right-click the desired module and select

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors.
