Aspects of the present invention provide a system and method for a user of an event-driven simulator to specify breakpoint conditions in kernel modules, startup processes, shared libraries, and other automatically loaded software elements before the target environment is initialized. The virtual platform detects specified breakpoints when a file is loaded onto a virtual platform debugger during startup of the environment or initialization of the relevant processes. The virtual platform debugger may scan for specified breakpoints in all loaded source code files, in only those source code files that are automatically loaded, or in only those source code files specified by the designer as modified.
