The breakpoints you selected are now deleted.
Breakpoints will not be renumbered. For example, if you have set breakpoints #1,
#2, and #3, and then clear breakpoint #2, the remaining breakpoints will be
numbered #1 and #3.
Notice that breakpoints are indicated in the Assembly window and the Source window (if
applicable). Enabled breakpoints appear in blue. Disabled breakpoints appear in pink.
3.2.5 About Hardware Breakpoints
Hardware breakpoints are used to specify that a particular action be taken whenever a
certain condition is met. In this way, hardware breakpoints are very similar to software
breakpoints. However, there are some differences. Hardware breakpoints:
• use the OnCE circuitry on the device
• can break on the execution of an instruction
• can be set in ROM or RAM
• can be set to detect an access of data memory
Although hardware breakpoints are more flexible than software breakpoints, you will
want to use hardware breakpoints judiciously. In effect, only one hardware breakpoint can
be enabled at any time.
