Syntax: BKPT <argument>
Operation: Software breakpoint
Flags: Unaffected
This instruction causes a software breakpoint to occur,which can be trapped by installing a handler on the prefetch abort vector. Additionally, some devices may have hardware to support debugging.
The value of <argument> is a 16 bit number which is ignored by the processor but might be useful for encoding other debugging information defined by the user.
Example:
BKPT &0BAD ; Breakpoint,flagging "BAD" to the handler
Note that this is only available from ARM architecture 5 and later.
