TRCACVR<n>: Trace Address Comparator Value Register <n>, n = 0 - 15

Purpose

Contains the address value.

Configuration

External register TRCACVR<n> bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register TRCACVR<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 TRCACVR<n> are RES0.

Attributes

TRCACVR<n> is a 64-bit register.

ADDRESS, bits [63:0]

Address Value.

The Address Comparators can support implementations that use multiple address widths. When the trace unit compares the ADDRESS field with an address that has a width less than this field, then the address must be zero-extended to the ADDRESS field width. The trace unit then compares all implemented bits. For example, in a system that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit addresses, when the PE is in AArch32 state the comparator must zero-extend the 32-bit address and compare against the full 64 bits that are stored in TRCACVR<n>.ADDRESS. This requires that the trace analyzer always programs all implemented bits of TRCACVR<n>.ADDRESS.

The result of writing a value other than all zeros or all ones to ADDRESS at bits[63:P] is an UNKNOWN value, where P is defined as:

The result of writing a value of all zeros or all ones to ADDRESS at bits[63:P] is the written value, and a read of the register returns the written value.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing TRCACVR<n>

Must be programmed if any of the following are true:

Writes are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE if the trace unit is not in the Idle state.

TRCACVR<n> can be accessed through the external debug interface:

ETE0x400 + (8 * n)TRCACVR<n>

This interface is accessible as follows:
