hbreak

Set a hardware assisted breakpoint.

hbreak [LOCATION]

• LOCATION may be a line number, function name, or “*” and an address.

  • If a line number is specified, break at start of code for that line.
  • If a function is specified, break at start of code for that function.
  • If an address is specified, break at that exact address.

Similar to “break” except the breakpoint requires hardware support, some target hardware may not have this support.

See “help break” for a full description of what “LOCATION” stands for.

Do “help breakpoints” for info on other commands dealing with breakpoints.
