5.13.4

Debug control register

The ARM9TDMI debug control register is four bits wide and is shown in Figure 5-12:

Figure 5-12 Debug control register

Bit 3 controls the single-step hardware, and this is explained in more detail in
Figure 5-15 on page 5-48.

5.13.5

Debug status register

The debug status register is five bits wide. This register is read only and attempts to
write to it will be ignored. If it is accessed for a read (with the read/write bit LOW), the
status bits are read.

Figure 5-13 Debug status register

The function of each bit in this register is as follows:

Bits 1 and 0

Allow the values on the synchronized versions of

DBGRQ

and

DBGACK

to be read.

Bit 2

Allows the state of the core interrupt enable signal (

IFEN

) to be read.

Since the capture clock for the scan chain may be asynchronous to the
processor clock, the

DBGACK

output from the core is synchronized

before being used to generate the

IFEN

status bit.

Bit 3

Allows the state of the

SYSCOMP

bit from the core (synchronized to

TCK

) to be read. This allows the debugger to determine that a memory

access from the debug state has completed.

Bit 4

Allows

ITBIT

to be read. This enables the debugger to determine what

state the processor is in, and hence which instructions to execute.
