DBGDEVID: Debug Device ID register 0

Purpose

Adds to the information given by the DBGDIDR by describing other features of the debug implementation.

Configuration

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to DBGDEVID are UNDEFINED.

This register is required in all implementations.

Attributes

DBGDEVID is a 32-bit register.

VectorCatchMeaning
0b0000

Address matching Vector Catch exception implemented.

0b0001

Exception matching Vector Catch exception implemented.

All other values are reserved.

BPAddrMask, bits [11:8]

Indicates the level of support for the instruction address matching breakpoint masking capability. Defined values are:

BPAddrMaskMeaning
0b0000

Breakpoint address masking might be implemented. If not implemented, DBGBCR<n>[28:24] is RAZ/WI.

0b0001

Breakpoint address masking is implemented.

0b1111

Breakpoint address masking is not implemented. DBGBCR<n>[28:24] is RES0.

All other values are reserved. The value of this for Armv8 is 0b1111.

WPAddrMask, bits [7:4]

Indicates the level of support for the data address matching watchpoint masking capability. Defined values are:

WPAddrMaskMeaning
0b0000

Watchpoint address masking might be implemented. If not implemented, DBGWCR<n>.MASK (Address mask) is RAZ/WI.

0b0001

Watchpoint address masking is implemented.

0b1111

Watchpoint address masking is not implemented. DBGWCR<n>.MASK (Address mask) is RES0.

All other values are reserved. The value of this for Armv8 is 0b0001.

PCSample, bits [3:0]

Indicates the level of PC Sample-based Profiling support using external debug registers. Defined values are:

PCSampleMeaning
0b0000

PC Sample-based Profiling Extension is not implemented in the external debug registers space.

0b0010

Only EDPCSR and EDCIDSR are implemented. This option is only permitted if EL3 and EL2 are not implemented.

0b0011

EDPCSR, EDCIDSR, and EDVIDSR are implemented.

All other values are reserved.

When FEAT_PCSRv8p2 is implemented, the only permitted value is 0b0000.

Note

FEAT_PCSRv8p2 implements the PC Sample-based Profiling Extension in the Performance Monitors register space, as indicated by the value of PMU.PMDEVID.PCSample.

Accessing DBGDEVID

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
