I can set breakpoint, and execution stops fine on breakpoints, however, when I hit 'n' or 's', the program simply continues execution in a normal fashion until end.

Yes. Single-stepping on ARM requires special support in the debugger,
which does not yet exist in LLDB for FreeBSD. The good news is that
there is a patch in review to add this support. I'm hoping to review,
test and commit it this week to the upstream LLDB repository, and I'll
see about merging it into the LLDB in the FreeBSD base system from
there.
