TRCVIIECTLR

Trace ViewInst Include/Exclude Control Register

Use this to select, or read, the Address Range Comparators for the ViewInst include/exclude function.

Configuration

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

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented, FEAT_TRC_EXT is implemented, and UInt(TRCIDR4.NUMACPAIRS) > 0. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCVIIECTLR are RES0.

Attributes

TRCVIIECTLR is a 32-bit register.

Bits [31:24]:

Reserved, RES0.

EXCLUDE[<m>], bit [m+16], for m = 7 to 0:

Exclude Address Range Comparator <m>. Selects whether Address Range Comparator <m> is in use with the ViewInst exclude function.

EXCLUDE[<m>]	Meaning
0b0	The address range that Address Range Comparator <m> defines, is not selected for the ViewInst exclude function.
0b1	The address range that Address Range Comparator <m> defines, is selected for the ViewInst exclude function.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Trace unit reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing this field has the following behavior:

When m >= UInt(TRCIDR4.NUMACPAIRS), access to this field is RES0 .
Otherwise, access to this field is RW.

Bits [15:8]:

Reserved, RES0.

INCLUDE[<m>], bit [m], for m = 7 to 0:

Include Address Range Comparator <m>.

Selects whether Address Range Comparator <m> is in use with the ViewInst include function.

Selecting no comparators for the ViewInst include function indicates that all instructions are included by default.

The ViewInst exclude function then indicates which ranges are excluded.

INCLUDE[<m>]	Meaning
0b0	The address range that Address Range Comparator <m> defines, is not selected for the ViewInst include function.
0b1	The address range that Address Range Comparator <m> defines, is selected for the ViewInst include function.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Trace unit reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing this field has the following behavior:

When m >= UInt(TRCIDR4.NUMACPAIRS), access to this field is RES0 .
Otherwise, access to this field is RW.

Accessing TRCVIIECTLR

Must be programmed if TRCIDR4.NUMACPAIRS > 0b0000.

If the trace unit is not in the Idle state it is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether writes to this register are ignored.

TRCVIIECTLR can be accessed through the external debug interface:

Component	Offset	Instance
ETE	0x084	TRCVIIECTLR

Accessible as follows:

When OSLockStatus(), or !AllowExternalTraceAccess(addrdesc), or !IsTraceCorePowered(), accesses to this register generate an error response.
Otherwise, accesses to this register are RW.
