Description:
This instruction enters the Break mode used for
software debugging. On entry into Break mode,
the CPU pipeline is flushed, and program
execution stops with the CPU executing a
continuous series of nop instructions. The
break instruction is used to suspend program
execution at a specified point, so that the contents
of registers can be examined through the
debugging interface. Break mode can be exited
only by reset or debugging commands issued
through the ISD/ISP interface. See Chapter 1 for
more information about the debugging interface.
