Brakepoint not work with Cortex A9

    Hi SeungWon

    My name is Stephen and I work at Arm.

    To be able to debug at source code level, the executable image must be compiled for debug (with "-g") and the debug symbols from the image loaded into the Debugger.

    The effect you see can happen if you set a breakpoint in your source code, but the executable image is not compiled for debug, or the debug symbols from the image have not been loaded into the Debugger.

    I can reproduce what you see by importing the supplied "startup_Cortex-A9_AC6" example, turning off the debug switch "-g", and re-compiling.
    When connecting, the warning message "WARNING(IMG53): startup_Cortex-A9_AC6.axf has no source level debug information" is then shown in the Commands view.

    So please first check that you are compiling for debug with "-g", and debug symbols are being loaded into the debugger with a command like "loadfile" or "add-symbol-file" in the Commands view, and there are no warnings shown in the Commands view.

    There are several examples provided in Arm DS for Cortex-A9.  Please take a look at those too.  They work 'out-of-the-box' on the Cortex-A9 FVP model and show some useful debug features.

    Hope this helps
