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.
