The breakpoint unit (BPU) provides 8 comparators which can be used to generate a debug event when the address of an instruction fetch matches the address programmed into the one of the BPU comparators.
The BPU comparators match instruction fetches from the code memory region, meaning the comparators only operate on instruction read accesses.
The comparators do not match data read or data write accesses. Address matching is possible for half-word (16-bit) instructions and word (32-bit) instructions fetched from the CODE region (0x00000000 to 0x1FFFFFFF).
