4.7.1.3.1 Breakpoint Resources

For PIC 16-bit and dsPIC DSC devices, breakpoints, data captures, and runtime watches use the same resources. So, the available number of breakpoints is actually the available number of combined breakpoints/triggers.

For PIC32C/M 32-bit devices, breakpoints use different resources than data captures and runtime watches. So, the available number of breakpoints is independent of the available number of triggers.

The number of hardware breakpoints available may be found in the project device data sheet. Consult debug tool documentation to determine if there is support for software breakpoints.
