You can also specify this information from the SoftBench main window

Specifying Source Locations
SoftBench Debugger uses three sources of information for locating source
code for the loaded executable:
• The compiler stores the location of files in the executable using the
same string, either absolute or relative path, used to specify the file
during compilation. As long as you don't move the source filesand run
SoftBench Debugger from the same directory as you ran the build
process, SoftBench Debugger can find the source files.
• SoftBench stores information about your projects, including source
code locations. If for some reason, the compiler's knowledge of source
code locations is insufficient, then SoftBench Debugger uses the local
and alternate source roots of the source code files in your project.
