I found if I set breakpoints in assembly code, the DS-5 debugger is not trapped there on omap3530 beagleboard. In addition, it doesn't step in assembly codes, if assembly codes are in a static/dynamic libs.
The version of the trial that you are using is quite old, and it is worth mentioning that a newer version of the trial was recently released. The download has moved to ARM's website, and you will need to register (free):
silver.arm.com/.../DS5TR
I downloaded a new version. But I found the register panel is blank. Is this function disabled?

No, the Registers view should work (when you are connected).
Is the Command view working? What output does 'info reg' produce?
What OS and version is your host running?
There are messages on Command view, but info reg doesn't work, nothing displays. I use Fedora 12.
Here are some more suggestions to help resolve the lack of registers problem.
The debugger uses a database to hold information about which registers to make available for each processor and board.
The location of this database can be found in the Eclipse Preferences dialog (select Preferences from the Window menu), and then navigate to DS-5 Debugger -> Target Database. Check that this location exists. As I mentioned in a separate post, if you delete all the files in this location then they should be automatically regenerated the next time you try to connect using the debugger.
In the Debug Configurations dialog where you configure connections, can I also check what values you have for Platform, Project type and Debug operation. You could also try deleting your configuration and creating a completely new one.
