But this is not available say with the LinkServer and the P&amp;E debug probes: for these as you say it will use hardware breakpoints. The i.MX RT has a decent number of HW breakpoints, so this might not be a real limitiation. Or just use a J-Link with MCUXpresso IDE if you really want to use this.</P><P></P><P>I hope this helps,</P><P>Erich</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 02 Jan 2019 09:00:15 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/MCUXpresso-General/Debugging-I-MX-RT-1050-with-MCUXpresso/m-p/824227#M937 BlackNight 2019-01-02T09:00:15Z
