Chapter 4: Using the Emulator
Using Execution Breakpoints
To enable execution breakpoints
• Choose Breakpoints→Enable.
• Inside the breakpoints list display, press and hold the select mouse button and then
choose Enable/Disable Software Breakpoints from the popup menu.
• Using the command line, enable breakpoints with:
modify software_breakpoints enable
You must enable breakpoints before you can set, inactivate, or clear any
breakpoints.
Once you have enabled breakpoints, you can enter new ones into the breakpoint
table. Note that if you enable breakpoints, add several, and then disable them, they
all become inactive. If you reenable the breakpoints feature, you must choose
Breakpoints→Set All, or on the command-line, enter modify
software_breakpoints set if you want to set all the existing breakpoint entries.
To disable an execution breakpoint
• Choose Breakpoints→Enable again. The Breakpoints→Enable selection is a
switch.
• Inside the breakpoints list display, press and hold the select mouse button and then
choose Enable/Disable Software Breakpoints from the popup menu.
• Using the command line, disable breakpoints with:
modify software_breakpoints disable
