After a while, I seemed to find the cause and solution for this. It was because Eclipse seems to used a wrong path to main.c file as shown in the picture, seems like there is an extra backslash \ (gdb trace) and GDB doesn't like this:

I tried to fix this by adding a relative path that points to the absolute path instead. In Debug Configuration -> Source, I added Project - Path Relative to Source Folder that point to the project. And made sure it's above the Default path.

After that Eclipse will set breakpoint using relative path and I was able to debug and set breakpoint, resume, etc.
