DBGWVR<n>: Debug Watchpoint Value Registers, n = 0 - 15

Purpose

Holds a data address value for use in watchpoint matching. Forms watchpoint n together with control register DBGWCR<n>.

Configuration

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

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

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

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

Attributes

DBGWVR<n> is a 32-bit register.

Accessing DBGWVR<n>

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

MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>} ; Where m = 0-15
