3.8 Setting a Software Breakpoint
A breakpoint is a simple debugging function.
The [Source] window provides a very simple way of setting a software breakpoint at any point in
a program. For example, to set a breakpoint at the sort function call:
• Select by double-clicking the [BP] column on the line containing the sort function call.
Figure 3.10 [Source] Window (Setting a Software Breakpoint)
The symbol • will appear on the line containing the sort function, and the word
• Break will appear when the [BP] column is extended. This shows that a software
breakpoint has been set.
Note: The software breakpoint cannot be set in the ROM area.
