DBGDRAR: Debug ROM Address Register

Purpose

Defines the base physical address of a 4KB-aligned memory-mapped debug component, usually a ROM table that locates and describes the memory-mapped debug components in the system. Armv8 deprecates any use of this register.

Configuration

AArch32 System register DBGDRAR bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register MDRAR_EL1[63:0].

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported. Otherwise, direct accesses to DBGDRAR are UNDEFINED.

DBGDRAR is a 64-bit register that can also be accessed as a 32-bit value. If it is accessed as a 32-bit register, bits [31:0] are read.

If EL1 cannot use AArch32 then the implementation of this register is OPTIONAL and deprecated.

Attributes

DBGDRAR is a 64-bit register.

RES0ROMADDR[47:12]
ROMADDR[47:12]RES0Valid

Bits [63:48]

Reserved, RES0.

ROMADDR[47:12], bits [47:12]

Bits[47:12] of the ROM table physical address.

If the physical address size in bits (PAsize) is less than 48 then the register bits corresponding to ROMADDR [47:PAsize] are RES0.

Bits [11:0] of the ROM table physical address are zero.

Arm strongly recommends that bits ROMADDR[(PAsize-1):32] are zero in any system where the implementation only supports execution in AArch32 state.

If DBGDRAR.Valid == 0b00, then this field is UNKNOWN.

In an implementation that includes EL3, ROMADDR is an address in Non-secure memory. It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the ROM table is also accessible in Secure memory.

Bits [11:2]

Reserved, RES0.

Valid, bits [1:0]

This field indicates whether the ROM Table address is valid.

ValidMeaning
0b00

ROM Table address is not valid. Software must ignore ROMADDR.

0b11

ROM Table address is valid.

Other values are reserved.

Arm recommends implementations set this field to zero.

Accessing DBGDRAR

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