Hello Asim,

Breakpoints can only be set in the source window if the Compiler and/or Assembler have been set to generate debug information. If these options are not enabled for the project, then debug information will not be available to the IDDE. In turn, this means the IDDE will not allow the placement of breakpoints in the Source Window.

If you are not generating debug information, you can only set breakpoints in the disassembly window.

You may want to try removing the file from the project, and re-adding it to ensure that it is using project-wide settings. You could also enable verbose build output, either by adding the "-v" switch to the Compiler, or via "Settings: Preferences: Project" to ensure the "-g" switch (generate debug information) is enabled for each of the source files.Please also make sure that you have NOT selected the ‘Strip Debug Information’ This option corresponds to the -S command-line switch.

Also,can you please try with enabling "Mask interrupts during step" option. To enable this option go to 'Target ->Settings'->'Target options' and turn on the option "Mask interrupts during step".

You can find information on breakpoints in VDSP help using the following path:
