How do I set a software breakpoint on an ARM processor?
arm, assembly, debugging, gdb
Solution
Using arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe cross compiler, this works great for me (thanks to Igor's answer):
__asm__("BKPT");
Problem
How do I do the equivalent of an x86 software interrupt: ``` asm( "int $3" ) ``` on an ARM processor (specifically a Cortex A8) to generate an event that will break execution under gdb?
