What don't you understand?

Translation: to set a breakpoint on an "interrupt", set the breakpoint on its interrupt handler. > Note also that debugging through interrupt handlers can be > problematic on PC hardware. On all hardware. But if Marc has used adb to set breakpoints on interrupt handlers, he'll know that.
