SUMMARY
You must be in break state in order to set breakpoints using Platform Builder.



MORE INFORMATION
Breakpoints are normally used for debugging applications and device drives. To build a debug version of the operating system, follow the instructions in the Platform Builder documentation.

The device can get to break state either by:


 * an exception

-or-
 * encountering a hard-coded breakpoint in an executing process. A hard-coded breakpoint is set in the code by using the DebugBreak API.

-or-
 * executing a break command in the Windows CE shell debugger (CESH)
