TRCACATR<n> | Jon's Arm Reference

Defines the type of access for the corresponding TRCACVR<n> Register. This register configures the context type, Exception levels, alignment, masking that is applied by the Address Comparator, and how the Address Comparator behaves when it is one half of an Address Range Comparator.

Configuration

External register TRCACATR<n> bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register TRCACATR<n>[63:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented, FEAT_TRC_EXT is implemented and UInt(TRCIDR4.NUMACPAIRS) * 2 > n. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCACATR<n> are RES0.
