Setting a Breakpoint on an Instruction Address

To set an address breakpoint on an assembler instruction, halt the target and double-click the marker bar located in the left margin in the Disassembly view. A new software breakpoint is created by default and displayed in the Breakpoints view. You can also see information about a particular breakpoint by hovering over its icon in the beginning of a corresponding code line.
Alternatively, follow these steps to set an address breakpoint:
  1. Halt the target by pressing the
    suspend
