The easiest way to set a hardware breakpoint is to right-click the editor sidebar on the line where the breakpoint should be inserted and select 'Toggle Hardware Breakpoint': 

Note that regular breakpoints are inserted by default. You could switch the default breakpoint type, right-click over the left side bar of the C/C++ Editor and select the desired breakpoint type from the Breakpoint Types menu: Image Added
The breakpoint type selection is also available from Debug > Breakpoint Types in the main menu (requires the C/C++ Editor to be active). |
