TRCRSCTLR<n>: Trace Resource Selection Control Register <n>, n = 2 - 31

Purpose

Controls the selection of the resources in the trace unit.

Configuration

External register TRCRSCTLR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register TRCRSCTLR<n>[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented, FEAT_TRC_EXT is implemented and (UInt(TRCIDR4.NUMRSPAIR) + 1) * 2 > n. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCRSCTLR<n> are RES0.

Resource selector 0 always returns FALSE.

Resource selector 1 always returns TRUE.

Resource selectors are implemented in pairs. Each odd numbered resource selector is part of a pair with the even numbered resource selector that is numbered as one less than it. For example, resource selectors 2 and 3 form a pair.

Attributes

TRCRSCTLR<n> is a 32-bit register.
