DBGBVR<n>: Debug Breakpoint Value Registers, n = 0 - 15

Purpose

Holds a value for use in breakpoint matching, either the virtual address of an instruction or a context ID. Forms breakpoint n together with control register DBGBCR<n>. If EL2 is implemented and this breakpoint supports Context matching, DBGBVR<n> can be associated with a Breakpoint Extended Value Register DBGBXVR<n> for VMID matching.

Configuration

AArch32 System register DBGBVR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register DBGBVR<n>_EL1[31:0].

AArch32 System register DBGBVR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register DBGBVR<n>_EL1[31:0].

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to DBGBVR<n> are UNDEFINED.

How this register is interpreted depends on the value of DBGBCR<n>.BT.

For other values of DBGBCR<n>.BT, this register is RES0.

Some breakpoints might not support Context ID comparison. For more information, see the description of the DBGDIDR.CTX_CMPs field.

If breakpoint n is not implemented then accesses to this register are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

DBGBVR<n> is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

When DBGBCR<n>.BT == 0b0x0x:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
VA[31:2]RES0

VA[31:2], bits [31:2]

Bits[31:2] of the address value for comparison.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Bits [1:0]

Reserved, RES0.

When DBGBCR<n>.BT == 0b001x:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
ContextID

ContextID, bits [31:0]

Context ID value for comparison.

The value is compared against CONTEXTIDR_EL2 when all of the following are true:

Otherwise, the value is compared against CONTEXTIDR.

The reset behavior of this field is:

When DBGBCR<n>.BT == 0b101x and EL2 is implemented:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
ContextID

ContextID, bits [31:0]

Context ID value for comparison against CONTEXTIDR.

The reset behavior of this field is:

When DBGBCR<n>.BT == 0bx11x, EL2 is implemented and (FEAT_VHE is implemented or FEAT_Debugv8p2 is implemented):

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
ContextID

ContextID, bits [31:0]

Context ID value for comparison against CONTEXTIDR.

The reset behavior of this field is:
