Chapter 6: Using the Emulator
Using Software Breakpoints

CAUTION
Software breakpoints should not be set, cleared, enabled, or disabled while the
emulator is running user code. If any of these commands are entered while the
emulator is running user code, and the emulator is executing code in the area where
the breakpoint is being modified, program execution may be unreliable.
To display the breakpoints list
• Choose Display→Breakpoints or Breakpoints→Display.
• Using the command line, enter the display software_breakpoints command.
The breakpoints display shows the address and status of each breakpoint currently
defined. If symbolic addresses are turned on (when setting the display modes), the
symbolic label associated with a breakpoint is also displayed. Also, the breakpoints
display shows whether the breakpoint feature is enabled or disabled.
The status of a breakpoint can be:
temporary
180
Re-activate a breakpoint.
Clear a breakpoint.
Clear all breakpoints.
Which means the temporary breakpoint has been set but not
encountered during program execution. These breakpoints are
removed when the breakpoint is encountered.
