hardware breakpoint not take

My application creates a hardware break point after translation has been setup and the MMU has been enabled.  When running inside ADS the break point exception is taken as expected.  However when a FPV model form the command line the break point exception does not occur.

The following is some of the debug info from TarmacTrace

638024 clk cpu0 R DBGBVR0_EL1 00000000:00000024
638356 clk cpu0 IT (319211) ffff000040003650:000040003650_NS d69f03e0 O EL1h_n : ERET

638475 clk cpu0 R X12 FFFFFFFFFFF8AD7F

Any ideas why the hardware break point would work inside ADS but not from the command line, and any tips to resolve the issue ?

The ADS version I'm using is developmentstudio_platinum-2025.a-1

Thanks.

    Sorry, I can't immediately explain the issue you are seeing, but here are some suggestions:
    1) check that any FVP model "-C" parameters are the same in both scenarios
    2) check any necessary barrier instructions (e.g. ISB) are present after the write to the debug registers
    3) collect TarmacTrace in both scenarios and compare them
    4) try a simpler code execution case where there is no change of EL
