TRBCR: Trace Buffer Control Register

Purpose

Provides trace buffer controls for an external debugger.

Configuration

TRBCR is in the Core power domain.

This register is present only when FEAT_TRBE_EXT is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRBCR are RES0.

Attributes

TRBCR is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:1]

Reserved, RES0.

ManStop, bit [0]

Flush and Stop collection. A write of 1 to this field causes a trace buffer flush, and on completion of the flush, Collection is stopped and the Trace Buffer Unit writes all trace data it has Accepted from the trace unit to memory, adding padding data if necessary.

This field is write-only and reads-as-zero.

Accessing TRBCR

TRBCR can be accessed through the external debug interface:

Component	Offset	Instance
TRBE	0x038	TRBCR

This interface is accessible as follows:

When DoubleLockStatus(), or !IsCorePowered(), or OSLockStatus() or !AllowExternalTraceBufferAccess(), accesses to this register generate an error response.
Otherwise, accesses to this register are RW.
