Bkpt immed8 | ARM VERSION 1.2 specification

Thumb Instruction Reference

5.5.2BKPT

Breakpoint.

Syntax

BKPT immed_8

where:

immed_8 is an expression evaluating to an integer in the range 0-255.

Usage

The BKPT instruction causes the processor to enter Debug mode. Debug tools can use this to investigate system state when the instruction at a particular address is reached.

immed_8 is ignored by the processor. However, it is present in bits[7:0] of the instruction opcode. It can be used by a debugger to store additional information about the breakpoint.

Architectures

This instruction is available in T variants of ARM architecture version 5 and above.

Examples

BKPT 67

BKPT 2_10110

5-38
