TRCIDR1: Trace ID Register 1

Purpose

Returns the tracing capabilities of the trace unit.

Configuration

External register TRCIDR1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register TRCIDR1[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented and FEAT_TRC_EXT is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCIDR1 are RES0.

Attributes

TRCIDR1 is a 32-bit register.

TRCARCHMAJ, bits [11:8]

Major architecture version.

TRCARCHMAJMeaning
0b1111

If both TRCIDR1.TRCARCHMAJ and TRCIDR1.TRCARCHMIN == 0xF then refer to TRCDEVARCH.

All other values are reserved.

This field reads as 0b1111.

Access to this field is RO.

TRCARCHMIN, bits [7:4]

Minor architecture version.

TRCARCHMINMeaning
0b1111

If both TRCIDR1.TRCARCHMAJ and TRCIDR1.TRCARCHMIN == 0xF then refer to TRCDEVARCH.

All other values are reserved.

This field reads as 0b1111.

Access to this field is RO.

REVISION, bits [3:0]

Implementation revision.

Returns an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value that identifies the revision of the trace unit.

Arm deprecates any use of this field and recommends that implementations set this field to zero.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.
