Q&A: Keil μVision: I am not able to hit the breakpoint I set inside a while loop

I created a blinky application based on baremetal application using NXP BSP for FRDM-K64F in Keil μVision, see this link for details. The issue I am having is that I am not able to hit a breakpoint inside the while loop, see below. The project was created using Pack Installer, so default settings are in place except for changes to debugger and settings.

Solution:

The reason that it is not hitting the breakpoint is that the generated project using Pack Installer have the Optimization set to -O1 for the debug build. To fix this change Optimization to -O0 (Project | Options for Target 'xyz*')

Below shows line 66 breakpoint was hit
